I was raised christian, and have tried several times to lead that lifestyle. I have also failed several times at it. I feel its just not in me. So my question is, if God knows whether or not your name is written in the book of life at the beginning of time, before you were even born, why even bother trying? Only he knows if you are going to make it to heaven or not. I feel as if I'm reaching for something that, for me, is not possible. I have tried reading the bible, praying, going to church...and trying to do right. But, I don't agree with everything, and I feel it would be wrong to pretend because God would know if one was pretending anyway. So, why should I even bother trying?? I have prayed several times for Jesus to come into my heart and change my ways...but it has not worked. Is it my destiny for my name to NOT be in the book of life? If so, that seems so cruel.
