Distinguish between the actions of God and man. Be certain what Christianity is all about. Inform yourself about it before going in there blindly. God created all things good. The first humans Aram and Even committed the first mortal sin. God does not commit sin when humans do evil actions. It is our action alone. God shows us the path as He is the path, the way and the light. It is we who walk on it or get out of it in our temptation. Read your bible. By reading the bible, you will understand how things came to be. [4] X Expert Source Zachary Rainey

See how great a love the Father has bestowed on us, that we would be called children of God; and such we are. For this reason "the world does not know us, because it did not know Him"(1 John 3:1) [5] X Research source

Get close to God by feeding the hungry. Serve anybody you meet as if you were serving God himself. [11] X Expert Source Zachary Rainey
Ordained Minister Expert Interview. 19 May 2019. As Jesus said, people will ask Him: "Lord, when did we see You hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not take care of You?" He will reply, "I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me" (Matthew 25:45) [12] X Research source He sees our deeds, good or bad; and whether done or not done as directly for Him or to Him. -
Keep your focus up towards Heaven. Trust in Him by soaring your wings like an eagle. Let the word of God become the first priority in your life. Keep your full trust in God. Trust can also be translated as believing or having Faith in the Lord. Let your trust grow day by day into a new beginning and new chapter in your life.
-
Stop to receive His guidance. God is always there to give us a choice in our lives. To choose what is right and wrong just as Adam and Eve had to make a choice. We are always in a hurry and because of this fast moving world, you may want all things to be done in the way you want. But God is reminding us to wait patiently for Him. Trust Him in all you do in your life, and then all things will be in order.
-
Strive more during spiritual conflicts. We sometimes look at the storms in our life. Your temptations and false reasoning often tries to alter your motive and vision. That is what he did to Peter when Peter took the step of faith and trusted Jesus that he will always walk on the water, but as soon as he deviated his focus and trust, he started to drown. So we have to make a decision to trust Him in times of trouble even when the situation may not seem favorable.
-
Continue to believe in the Higher Being. You have to step across the faith line. A faith line is when we see things as "impossible" in our life. That is the moment that we have to trust in Him, rely on His word, search all the promises of God, and meditate on those promises until trust arises in our Heart. Never turn your back on Him. Be persistent in your belief. Walk in faith. "...we look not for the things which can be seen, but at the things which can not be seen; for the things which may be seen are temporal [temporary and passing away, transitory], but the kind of things which can not be seen [faith, hope, love] are eternal" (2 Corinthians 4:18).
