We need God to rectify the dangers of this world yet we have been trained not to read about God, not to trust the Bible and not to think God's thoughts after him. We need to gently reconsider ..
The cross is offensive to us. We do not want to be told we are lost sinners on way to hell, and we prefer to think of ourselves as good people who are about to take on the world. Which is true?
We can live a life of knowing we are saved - this helps conquer many self inflicted psychological problems - self image, respect esteem...all can be resolved in finding your salvation and identity in Christ
