Life is full of confusion. Many today don't even know what to think or believe anymore. Finding the right answer is often difficult. Minds can become clouded with evil and sin leading to despair. People are constantly crying out for clarity.
For Christians, clarity comes not in the form of a mathematical formula or written code but in the Divine Person of Jesus Christ. To remain in clarity is to remain in Jesus.
We remain in Jesus by keeping His commandments and following His teachings. A great error today in society is the idea of subjective truth (that each individual creates his/her own personal idea of right and wrong). This can deter us from the one and only truth, God.
Often the need to be right comes out of our own insecurities. We attempt to control our own lives with the thinking that "nobody is going to tell me what to do". Our sin and pride refuses to admit that we may be wrong.
We should freely let God control our lives. Only He has all the answers. Christians must humbly accept the truth of Christ's teachings given to us through the Church He established. Submitting to this will keep a Christian on the path toward eternal life.
