       Before each of us were saved, if we were old enough to become more and more depraved in our actions, we recall the sinful things we did, the works we bore in our flesh, only ended up bringing us death. We were never really fulfilled. There was always a sense of meaninglessness. There was this sense that we didn’t know who we were, why we were here, what we really were supposed to be doing with our lives. “Do people really love me?” was a common background thought. There was this lack of confidence, of disarray in our thoughts. And then the thought of death would come to mind every once in a while. And we would contemplate death. We would think, “Well, I’m not a murder, so I should make it to heaven.” “I think I’m good enough in comparison to people who do bad things, like criminals.” When those thoughts got too uncomfortable, we would just stop thinking about death, just kicking the unanswered questions down the road to be dealt with at a later time.
