We can only understand the danger by understanding the situation. When we enter the realm of the life of faith in God, we open ourselves to an existence characterized by God speaking to us, promising to order our lives in love and to redeem us in his mercy. We are set in dimensions of eternity. We are creatures of God, so we are taken with absolute seriousness by him. He knows our names. He bears our burdens. He gives his life for us so we might live.
