It was religion that made me believe that in the first place, actually. My parents would always say I was evil, and that evil people went to hell. And when I looked into the texts myself I saw that even good people went to hell, and believed i could never wash away my sins enough to go to heaven. So i believed i was doomed to hell for being an evil seven year old
That does sound tough to deal with. The fact is that all of us are sinners, and none are able to “deserve” salvation by ourselves. (Romans 3:23, 3:10, 6:23) However, Christ took our sins on himself so that if we simply confess our sins, repent of them, and believe in Jesus, we will be cleansed and made new! (Romans 6:23, 10:9) It’s really amazing what Jesus can do! Feel free to dm me if you have any questions👊
