How did you do? Do your answers confirm that you’re worshiping the one true God? If not, seek Him right now. What has God done to help us? In His Word, God has instructed us all to repent and believe in His Son, who paid the penalty for our sin and was raised from the dead. How can we appease Him?

In fact, He keeps us alive and has determined where and when each of us will live.Ģ.
