The Stakes are High

I had to just Google what that meant exactly. :)
It's like a bet, and you stand to lose a lot when the stakes are high.

I want so badly to make this a post of Facebook, but that wouldn't be a good idea. At least not right now.
But still I need to purge my thoughts here. Let's hope I can make this sound nice and intelligible.

I know not everyone shares the same purpose of life thought, but for a lot of people the purpose of this life is to find God.

John 17:3
And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

 This isn't something I take lightly. I've been told several times in my life by dear friends of other faiths that I am a good person, but I will go to Hell. Which is a scarey concept. They never seemed to tell me that to elicit fear. It was just more of a statement of fact. But in reality, the thought is really terrifying to me.
I'm not just living my faith because I like the standards it offers and it gives me a good life. It's not exactly hard to live, but it does take some discipline and saying no.
The point is I live my faith because I believe that this is God's true gospel and that his son, Jesus Christ, has established this church in the latter-days so that we can get back to them.
However, if I'm wrong, as pointed out by many evangelical friends, I will suffer mightily. The stakes are high.
I better know if I've got it right, because the stakes are high.

And with that I'll say, I think I've got it right. I've thought about it time and time again, and I'm always left with the same conclusion.
