Here's something most Christians don't know about that's located in scripture:
James 1:27
Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and windows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
Its widely debated as to what that verse actually means. I personally think it falls under the category of things Jesus wishes He could explain to us. He said that somewhere in the Gospel, if I remember correctly, but I spent 45 minutes tracking down the exact location of the verse in James and I really don't want to go digging for another. xD
Keep in mind, he also said in Mark 16:16
"He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned."
(That one was easy to find. I remembered half of it, so I just googled it. :P )
Make of that what you will, I suppose. I'm not sure myself on what it means, but I think it provides hope.
