Paradise Lost/Daily Temptation

So I just responded to another person's blog about Paradise Lost, and now my gears are turning. We are people of sin, we sin daily; we find ways to say its okay; if someone else did it or did something worse than ultimately we feel what we've done seems to be okay. Reality is, its not you you're answering to at the 'pearly gates',  and filling our days with fear that God will not provide strength in our every step is where we fall short. Fear is Faith's constant reminder than we are sinners, but it is that faith that will pull you through when you believe in the creator of all things mighty. Chris Tomlin sings in "Our God":
"And if our God is for us, then who could ever stop us?
And if our God is with us, then what could stand against?
And if our God is for us, then who could ever stop us?
And if our God is with us, then what could stand against?
What could stand against?"
 If people carried that belief with them daily maybe we would not fear so much and we could have a constant faith that we are cared for unconditionally by someone so mighty he dreamed up this beautiful world we live in and allowed us to occupy His land. All these faith beliefs makes us God's greatest creation which sets us above even the angels in Heaven.
