God as a Crutch

Think about it... who needs a crutch?  Some one who is crippled in some way, right?
"There is none righteous, not even one." Romans 3:10
Do you wonder why God seems so far away?  Or even nonexistent?
"But your iniquities have made a separation between you and your God, and your sins have hidden His face from you, so that He does not hear." Isaiah 59:2
There are many ways and religions to turn toward, or you can even choose nothing, and remain neutral and not be involved in anything.
"There is a way which seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death."  Proverbs 14:2
Do you believe truth is relative and all roads lead to the same place?
"I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through me." Jesus in John 14:6
What are you doing about all of this?
"For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 6:23
I have heard it said many, many times that Christ is just a crutch for weak people.  Well, He is the crutch for weak people.  You and I have this in common...
"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." Romans 3:23-24
I am not writing this to preach about doomsday, rather, I am saying that there is a way to escape everything that is, was, and will be bad.  There is a way out of this turmoil.
"These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace.  In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have over come the world." Jesus in John 16:33
There is a way out, and God can be that crutch, because if you swallow your pride, you will realize sooner or later that you need a crutch.
"But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8

"For God so loved that world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life." John 3:16

"For Christ also died for sins once for all, the just for the unjust, in order that He might bring us to God, having been put to death in the flesh but made alive in the Spirit." 1 Peter 3:18

"If you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved; for with the heart man believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation." Romans 10:9-10

"And the witness is this, that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.  He who has the Son has the life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have the life.  These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, in order that you may know that you have eternal life." 1 John 5:11-13
Hit me up with any feedback.  It is greatly appreciated.
