This in itself may lead to suicide. The second great element of life, that adversely affects us, is that of guilt. Everyone has an intuitive understanding of what is right and wrong. That concept can be further developed by proper parental guidance, so that as one's character is molded he may exercise self restraint and discipline to do that which is right. Or, the lack of proper parental guidance may develop within a child the selfish desire to live a self centered life, devoid of the restraints of conscience, and thereby continue to do the wrong things in life.
People constantly desire to be relieved of both fear and guilt.
Isn't there some way by which both of these adversarial elements can be eliminated from one's life, so that we may enjoy the fullness that everyone wants, without fear or guilt. God's answer to these two concerns is an unequivocal, yes. In order to enjoy freedom from fear and guilt, one must be willing to follow the creator's principles, in order to achieve this freedom, and the blessings of life. God's principles are simple, plain, and absolute, and when followed they bring peace, joy, happiness, and hope. It is found in loving Him and trusting Him.
