I was born and raised atheistic/meh about religion. Only this past year or two I’ve become fascinated with who or what Jesus really was.
I entertain it but I still don’t have 100% certainty? Idk how to describe it/I’m just not sure about literally everything nowadays.
I don’t even understand how to live in this world righteously because every fucking thing supports evil somehow.
How can one appear loyal to goodness in modern society, other than buying property (expensive, not possible) and growing fruits and veggies and that’s it.
Any advice?
Read the Bible. Even if you aren't religious, it offers a great many passages of wisdom to help us all see our way more clearly and hold ourselves at peace during chaotic times.
Not really easy to start at page 1 and treat it as a page turner, but search for verses related to a keyword you are feeling - worry, sadness, anger, love, etc... - and you will find guidance beyond simple faith.
Chickens for eggs and meat are also another good prep, if you want a more direct answer, beyond tying it into your exploration into Christ.
Get a Bible, start reading the new testament. Start reading the book of Matthew. Read it every day. Once you get done with the New Testament, start with the old testament. Starting the book of Genesis.
Find yourself a Bible believing church, non-denominational something like a Calvary Chapel. They teach the Bible chapter by chapter and verse by verse, they don’t pass up any of the uncomfortable stuff, and you will find truth.
Whatever your sex is, go to a Bible study. Men’s or women’s. This is where you’ll find like believers, who will build you up in the faith, and help you to see who Christ is. They will be able to answer any questions you have, and when you’re ready, they will lead you to the Lord.
Each persons journey of their faith in Christ is different. There’s no one way to do it. The fact that you are asking and interested, tells me that God is drawing you to Him.
If you’re really interested… Just say the Lords prayer of Salvation, and ask Him into your heart, and ask Him to reveal Himself to you. He will.
What an exciting time to be alive! Talk about the precipice. You’re on the precipice of salvation! I am so excited for you.
Dear Lord; forgive me, I am a sinner… come into my heart, and grace me with your salvation! Make me a new creation in Christ! In Jesus name - Amen
2024 has the biggest and best possibilities for your future! May the Lord lead you and may you find salvation, hope, and confidence for a bright future, in knowing where you’re going when you die.
👏👏👏
Thank you, I really appreciate your response. I am begging the list you’ve suggested.
The answer is already in your heart. If you have a lamp, do you put it on the table or under the bed? Worry not what you will eat or clothes you wear for God even takes care of the birds and the untouched fields. He knows the number of hairs on your head.
The system is evil, world is evil because they're in darkness. God is light. If you read the New Testament and learn more about Jesus, trying putting yourself in his shoes and follow him through his journey. You'll slowly start to understand WHY Jesus said what he said, did what he did. Why?
You'll be confused at first because you're trying to understand it from a man's point of view. God is light and love. If you try to leave behind your old ideas and ways of thinking and based your understanding from unconditional love and compassion and 100% holiness, purity, grace and glory point of view, you'll begin to understand how Jesus felt and the immense sadness he had to overcome to the point of coming to acceptance that there is only one way to save humanity.
Jesus first miracle was turning water into wine. He said you cannot put new wine into old wine. You'd need a new skin to put the new wine in. Your whole mentality based on human experience has to be thrown out the window. To become a new man, born again in Christ, baptized in water (John the baptist) and fire (Jesus is fire =holy spirit) and read the Bible, add prayers and songs and worship. Trust God wholeheartedly so that you will truly see and hear. When you're confused and going through a storm, hold Jesus' hands and He will calm the storm down (in your heart) and lead you on the right path. You won't understand everything at first but faith is like a muscle. Use it everyday and it will grow stronger. It becomes your life's journey.
Here is an analogy to go along with Scripture. Imagine you are a plate.
The plate is covered in greasy butter (which represents sin).
You cannot put the greasy plate into the cupboard because all the dishes in there are clean. A greasy plate isn't allowed, no matter how much it is wanted to be placed in there. (The grease represents the fact that we all sin.)
Good people think, "I am sure if I am good enough, I can rinse this sin off with my good works". (That effort to draw close to God by being a basically good person is represented by us rinsing the plate in running water. But, no matter how hard we try, water will not mix with the grease enough to lift it off.)
The solution is to apply dishsoap. Soap is part grease and part water, so it links with the grease and lifts if off the plate. (This is representative of how Jesus is fully God and fully man. Only he can lift away the sin. He offers to do this for us. But, we have to apply the soap...repent of sin, desire to turn from it and ask Jesus to be our Savior.)
I just wonder why people want to keep their plate greasy when the soap is sitting right there, and we didn't even have to purchase it. It is a gift. This simple analogy isn't perfect, but it works well enough, I think. I am thankful to Jesus for paying the price for my sin while he was God and while he was human. Only he could do this.
No advice really, it's just faith. Keep yourself righteous. God will handle the rest. When I say my prayers at night, I ask God to please have world leaders who want to lead us back to him elected to office. Faith is not always easy but it is always worth it. When I read or something that appalls me, I don't ask how God could allow it because God gives us free will. I agree with the Q team when they posted that most people are good.
