I do believe in God, I pray and I read my bible.
But sometimes a thought comes up in my head "what if God does not exist" that thought makes me depressed, because than there would be no sollution for this world (and for me!) That thought scares me and paralyses me. Than I get anxiety and get afraid.
Please share with me how to keep faith.
And what to do when these thought pop up.
Because I dont want them!!!
apply the things you read in your bible is the secret that is what will" prove" Jesus word to you
john 7:16-17 "
Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me. 17If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself. "<<< this is what satan will never accept He is all about getting people away from this.
james 1:22 "
But be ye DOERS OF THE WORD, and not hearers only, DECEIVING your own selves."
the deception has not changed from eden when the serpent explained why the fruit was actually good for eve, and made Gods warning irrelevant. people do the same thing today. many false doctrines exist that are geared toward removing the truth which is simple learn from Jesus, and do those things.
Luke 6:46-49 "
And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say? 47Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like: 48He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock. 49But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great."
in other words Be doers of the word and not only hearers so deceiving yourselves. when people start applying Gods word to thier lives it changes everything, but there are sooo many against this principle because they dont want change.
from cain, to noah, to moses, to the wisdom of solomon to the prophets, to Jesus to all the apostles its the same principle believe Gods Word as if He is really God meaning your God has given you instructions through His Only begotten Son and said clearly " dont only hear my words, do them"
to cain
Genesis 4:6-8 "And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen? 7If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him. 8And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him." << do what is right
solomon the wisest man other than Jesus after all His searching and considering everything under the sun
ecclesiastes 12:13-14 " Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil."
moses to the isrealites
deuteronomy 30:11-16 "For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not hidden from thee, neither is it far off. 12It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it? 13Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it? 14But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it.
See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil; 16In that I command thee this day to love the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it. " << keep my word
the prophet jeremiah when the first covenant is broken
jeremiah 11:6-8 "Then the LORD said unto me, Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, Hear ye the words of this covenant, and do them. 7For I earnestly protested unto your fathers in the day that I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, even unto this day, rising early and protesting, saying, Obey my voice. 8Yet they obeyed not, nor inclined their ear, but walked every one in the imagination of their evil heart: therefore I will bring upon them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do; but they did them not." << they wouldnt obey God
David wrote many psalms like this
psalm 111:7-10 "The works of his hands are verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure. They stand fast for ever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness. He sent redemption unto his people:he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend is his name. The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments:his praise endureth for ever." <<keep the word of God
the apostle John in one of the last epistles for the church
1 john 5:1-5" Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that LOVETH HIM that begat LOVETH HIM ALSO THAT IS BEGOTTEN of him BY THIS WE KNOW that we love the children of God, when we love God, and KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS. For THIS IS THE LOVE OF GOD, that WE KEEP his commandments: and his commandments are NOT GRIEVOUS. For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and THIS IS THE VICTORY that overcometh the world, even OUR FAITH. Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that ESUS IS THE SON OF GOD?" ( jOHN 14-15) <<<Love God and keep His commandments
The only secret is that Gods word is actually true, Jesus actually suffered and died for you, and that His word is meant to teach us and for us to apply thats what is hidden so dee-ply by the many false ideas and interpretations that men come up with that also has been from the beginning God has always said Hear my word and do my word, satan has always said " Nah, thats not the answer for you listen to me"
The Bible is a life lesson book meant to be learned and lived out. christians commandments are all found in the 4 gospels.
