Christians: how do you sleep at night?

[Jesusislord]

The "What if you're wrong" argument goes both ways, even if one side doesn't believe it. I have too much to deal with in this life to worry about the next. Nobody's doing me any favors, except the family and friends I make. I don't give credit to people that may not even exist, and I don't fear judgement from someone who doesn't know how to differentiate himself from every other mythology in the world. If the devil managed to screw the world up so much that in the end only a minority will get to where Yahweh actually wants them to be, i think we know who the smart one is.

This Christian road is not an easy one. I too sat on the fence and when you decide to come down and set yourself on a new path, then you see who your real friends are....The first ones that go are your family and friends. It also depends on what you do once you become aware that God does exist...The immediate manifestation is the knowledge that overnight you are a new creation. But nothing is easy....This when the battle begins...The battle begins with your old self and your new self - It is both exciting and confusing. Suddenly out of nowhere you start coming under attack at night - Again this is normal. You new path is fraught with many snares...You will be ridiculed, laughed at etc. The very first thing that will go (And you can test this) is that you stop swearing or is diminished to a point that when you do, you feel uncomfortable....Its difficult to describe but a process of inner cleansing takes place and your inner circle will most certainly witness the change. Some will embrace it, while others will turn their backs on you....Either way they will know that something exceptional/different is now present in you. Some new Christians think that they can move mountains....For me it was about changing the small things...Mother Teresa once said "Not all of us can do great things. But we can all do small things with great love"...This is exactly the way I feel about my own conversion....I too had the bells and whistles but in the daily walk its the light that emanates from you as you do the small things, with great love...May God bless you and give you strength in your journey
