@SW-User That is religion, my dear - man trying to get to god of his own will/power - and the act in itself is futile. In the quest of that, many various religions have sprouted, and from these violence. It is impossible for the weak & wounded to approach the strong man, rather the stronger one is he who makes the approach. So it is with God and man. Man is depraved - a slave to sin, which drives him away from everything of God - so God must draw him towards Him.
The average person would say, "that is absurd, insulting, and wrong. It is the duty of the lesser to search out and draw near to the greater". And that exactly is what religion preaches - "do this, do that, and you will know and be right with god". In other-words, earn your salvation - but Christianity testifies that God does the drawing near, directing man to Him.
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.", and "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.", and This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.
Jesus loves you, my dear; so much even that He laid His life down for you. God does not demand that you work for your own salvation - because nothing done by us can exterminate our sins - but that you accept His salvation made available for you; that is, His free gift of grace.
Romans 10:9 - If you declare with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
Jesus Christ died to save you. From hell, and also from all these things which burden your heart. He is not the Prince of Peace and Bread of Life for nothing.
He loves you. Surrender it all to Him.❤
