People live in this world, and we often believe what we see, so we think that everything we see is real. So, we often fall into the trap of being flattering and ignore the existence of God. But who is controlling everything in the world? How can we know and firmly believe? Only when we keep obeying God’s words, can we have such confidence and avoid falling into the snares set by the world.
