Merciful God But Terrifying

Our sense of self-confidence, superiority and pride do not please God. Although He is a merciful God, He also wills that we humble ourselves before Him. Said the atheists that religion is intellectual infancy.

Jesus Christ said that He is the Giver of  life, for He is the Life. That is the meaning of Christian life. Jesus our Lord is the Life, He is our Life. Observe John 10:27-28: “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow Me; and I give eternal life to them, and they shall never perish; and no one shall snatch them out of My hand.”   We are complete in Christ in this life and beyond. (cf. John 15:5) A Christian life is a life of hope and victory; a life of divine peace and joy. The Bible contains true life stories of a prostitute who got changed or of a resurrected dead man.
