I would like to conclude this work similar to the way I prefaced it. If there is a God, and he is the God that the Christian scriptures say he is, then he is a God of mercy and compassion; he is a God of perfect Love. I understand why someone wouldn’t want to believe in, let alone follow a God that is vindictive and cruel. But this isn’t the case.

If Christianity is correct, then you can rest assured that your faults and shortcomings will not be measured. You can rest assured that you need not be perfect. Be at ease that if you tried your best to change your heart—humbly turn your will to match his—you will not be forsaken. This God I speak of loves his children, all of them.

He isn’t in the business of throwing someone down to earth without a fighting chance to return to him. He gives all an opportunity, in this life or in the next. All those who did not get a chance to accept his gospel on this earth who would have received it will be airs to His kingdom. That is a promise; but it comes with a caution.

Don’t for a minute deceive yourselves thinking that you can lie to God. He knows your every thought, he knows your innermost desires, and he knows you better than you even know yourself. So if this God is real, and you meet him at that day, and you think that you can pretend to have tried your best—pretend that you were sufficiently humble and sought after his true gospel with an open heart—think again.

He will not condemn those who did their part by diligently seeking him out. But those who think they can get away with something at that day, condemn themselves.

As I have always said; the key is humility. For those who are true, humble, diligent seekers of God and his will, there is no risk at all. Christ Taught:

“Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

“Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.

“Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.

“Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

“Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.

“Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

“Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

“Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

“Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

“Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you” (Matthew 5:3-12).

You have two choices. Take these sayings and dismiss them, go your way and live according to the creeds of your own conscience with the probability of a coin flip of being correct. Or, take them in and try and apply them as best you can, with no risk at all. Which is more logical? You decide.
