Fredgh,
I was remembering when I first became a Christian and the different (wrong!) things I thought. I thought I had to be perfect and make up for all my past sins. Nothing could be further from the truth! The Bible says, "It is by grace you have been saved, through faith, and this is a gift from God...(Ephesians 2:8)" It's a gift! You can't earn it, and you can't lose it.
I also thought life would be boring now. Wrong again! Jesus said, "I have come to give them life, and life to the fullest." Jesus wants you to live a life full of purpose and love! (John 10:10)
The last thing I thought was that I had to figure it all out on my own. But that's why God gave us the Holy Spirit-our personal Counselor and Friend. He wants to fill you with peace and show you the right way to go.
Fredgh, have you thought any of these same things? How may I help you live the wonderful life God has planned for you. Erv
