Sacrifice

In an earlier post you wondered whether God required a sacrifice on our part to get into heaven. In your most recent post you wrote:

We should sacrifice our fear of death and trust the Lord

I wonder ... is that the "sacrifice" you had in mind?

That seems to me a two-part operation: first, trust the Lord. Then, when the scaffolding of trust is in place, then lay down the fear of death.

My question is this -- and it's a very, very personal question: how does one go about truly trusting in the Lord when one has an inherent lack of trust in everyone?

I talk a big game, but in reality I've discovered I know about God far more than I know God, if you understand what I'm saying there.
