Believe
When you begin to acknowledge God's relevance in your life you are on the doorstep of belief. Why would you not want to believe? If you are counting on other people to always be there when you need them, then you are setting yourself up for disappointment. And you certainly don't have all the answers no matter how brilliant you think you are. Humans make mistakes and oftentimes fail.
The concept that there is something greater, smarter, and more powerful than you should not be unfathomable. It is actually something that makes a lot of sense. World leaders and brilliant individuals have come and gone and will continue to do so until the end of the world as we know it. They all become as nothing except memories and even memories soon fade.
There is one sustaining power that holds all logic, order, creativity, and beauty together. That power is God, creator of all things in the universe. There is no good reason not to believe, but every reason in the world to seek Him and love Him.
After all God first loved us and He wants us to love Him in return. He doesn't want any of us to be lost. It doesn't matter if we don't understand everything about God. How can we comprehend things that are so far greater than we are? But we should try. And that begins with believing.
If you confess that Jesus is Lord and believe that God raised him from death, you will be saved.
