The ransom was paid and always will be paid for those who believe in Him.

But who believes in him? I can say I believe in Jesus Christ. Now I don't anymore. But now I do. It is like flipping a switch in your mind or what? I always thought God would see into your heart if you have good intentions or not, if you are good or evil and then he would decide if you go heaven or hell. But now this hell thing just looks made up as hell and it also looks like the rich people got richer and richer and kept being rich and now just rule the world at this point. And they will never lose their wealth.

And what decides if someone is rich? I am a very average income worker in Germany and my parents would say I need to save money (even though I have everything) and compared to a Steam friend in Russia or to some Indian I am indeed very rich, am I not? I think if you are rich or poor, you can still be pleasing God. So money's got nothing to do with God in my opinion.

I just wonder what this humility is because since it's the biggest virtue and the opposite of pride, then that is what God wants from you, to be humble at all times.

Speculating on who is or isn't going to hell is a manifestation of pride. Wish them well and leave that up to God and try to be good in your own right.

Ok and how can I be humble and God pleasing? What must I do?
