The Bible teaches that one of the reasons that Jesus came to earth was so that you can have and experience the best life possible. The truth is that God wants you to enjoy this blessing of God's life in every area of life!
Psalm 107:8 & 9 says,”Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for men. For he satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things.”
“Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil;
Experience life in your family.
“Let brotherly love continue. Be not forgetful to entertain strangers; for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.” Hebrews 13:1,2.

I was once a hardened skeptic attending church for show. That is, until I met the “apostle to the skeptics,” Christian apologist C.S. Lewis.

I would rather believe that "If it seems too good to be true...perhaps it’s God!"
