If God is a sham, I still have no regrets for being a follower of Jesus. I've had trials and difficult times in my life as a follower of Jesus. But, through it all, God has never let me down (Matthew 28:20). I have found that nothing in this world can satisfy the deepest longings of my heart compared to obedience to Jesus Christ. Living my life to glorify the Creator of the universe is the only source of joy in life (Psalm 16:11). But yet, life at its core isn't about our satisfaction or happiness; rather, it revolves around God, the Creator of all that exists. Apart from God we are all in a race bound toward eternal destruction.
God, who created the entire universe, who is completely sovereign over all of the earth, is holy and righteous—he is perfect. My sin and your sin are of great offense to God. Sin is anything contrary to God’s law. Perfection is God’s law (Matthew 5:48). The 10 Commandments are an example of God’s law. Because of our sin, we are separated from God. Separation from God equates to an eternity spent in hell.
