For a long time I was very confused about a lot of things I had learned in church growing up. It took a long road to get there, but I finally humbled myself to God, asked him to teach me the truths, and left myself open to receive them. Gradually, in something someone said or something I read, at random-unrelated times, I recognized the answers to my misconceptions.

What my Lord did over 2000 years ago was enough. When He said it is finished, His sacrifice changed the way I am viewed by God. (This applies to everyone! lol). God sees me only through Christ.

If I say I can't eat pork or I have to go to church so-many days a week, in order to please God. Then I am saying that Christ did not do enough! That there is something I must add or take away from what Jesus did. That I can do more than He did or that I am better than He is.

"I am the way, the truth, and the light. No one comes to the Father except through me." John 14:6

Not that I don't want to please Him, I do. But what truly pleases Him I can only find by asking Him, by being hungry for his answer, and studying the Word. Not by someone else's doctrine, belief, or interpretation.

Praise be to God and my Lord and my Savior Jesus Christ!
