The message of the Gospel is true, no matter who preaches it. God does not change. If we believe the gospel is true, we will be changed, if we don't believe the gospel is true we will regret it. There is nothing on Earth that can compare to the joys of Heaven. The reason why God's children are here is for the spread of the gospel. There is hope and Jesus Christ came to save sinners. Jesus will give us brand new lives. Suffering for Jesus is a privilege and gift. God is not the author of sin and God is in total control. In the midst of persecution, we don't need to enjoy it, but we should rejoice in the Lord.
Faith is cognitive and involves intellectual understanding. God's word does not change and we need to measure everything according to His word. Believing something does not make it true.
Biblical translations should make the context of what God says clear.
If we get to know Jesus, we are going to love Him! We will also find out that He loves us and we should never stop loving one another. Everything changed, not because of what we did, but because of what He did. Jesus saves us.
