Does god want us to belief in him, as in to trust him?

Question

People have this problem where they want to be in control of their lives constantly, in how they think , and take actions. But this causes us to become narrow minded, because we get so warped up in small things that we can't see the whole picture.

God says he wants us to belief in him, but what does that really mean? Does it mean that we acknowledge that he's there. If that's so, what does it accomplish? It makes more sense that we should belief in god as in to trust him with our lives. It makes sense because if we trust in god that he will make everything alright, then we wouldn't have to be control freaks. That's good right! I mean god doesn't do anything in Torah or a or the Quran or the Bible for himself. Mainly what he tells us in these books is for our own good.

I am not saying that believing in god means you can be lazy, but it means you don't have to pressure yourself over things. You can take things head on with a clear mind believing that no matter what everything will be alright. I know when I approach things like that, I perform a lot better, because I don't let myself be blinded by useless pressure.

Well this is my perspective. I would like to hear from anyone. Express your ideals, vision, and perspective to

Answer 1

ah ha, finally.

to be free from the oppression of man and sin and all that stupid stuff that gives us heart attacks,

one must give up all our own oppressions first in order to be free to preach the Gospel to the dying and lost world.

The longer I am a Christian, the more I have realised, that I

try to do things in my own steam.

I cannot see clearly when my mind is racing about what can and must be done,

I realise more earnestly,

that I must live the Bible, and let God do all the work.

when I do things in a controlling fashion, I lose all sight of God,

when I let God do his work, I allow Him to do pretty awesome stuff.

when I worry about the person that I have been telling about the Lord,

I kinda fret myself witless,

when I freak out because a cheeky sod, just got away with something, then I react,

when I give up this issue to God, then I can deal with the person, in a

biblically charitable way.

When i am chafed in my mind for all the garbage of some followers of the Lord, then I go crazy,

when I let it alone, and show charity to the undeserving sinners, (for there is none that have not sinned), then I am free from the oppression of man

when man is in need of correction, I tell them and leave the ball in their court,

I must allways remember that they are free to do what they will ,

But that I am the messenger of life from the dead,

and there is no more power that I am permitted from God to exercise upon the ungodly......

except to feed and clothe and forgive them,

as God does for me.daily.

AND to preach the acceptable Salvation of the Lord.
