All the major religions of the world are about doing stuff to get into a god's favour. Unfortunately this includes the Christian religion as it is portrayed by the majority of the churches that go by that name. But true Christianity is about realizing you can't get into God's good books by what you do. This is because to please God you have to be totally perfect. Can you manage that? I certainly can't. It isn't good enough to be a nice guy who does kind thing, when your thought life leaves a lot to be desired. We can fool our neighbours that we are good people but it won't wash with our Holy God. Our standards are nothing like as exacting as His. However He is such a wonderful caring God that He has made a way for us to be made perfect and acceptable to Him. That is through the death of Jesus on the cross. Jesus did live the perfect life that we cannot manage and He will give that perfection to anyone who will put their trust in Him. This means that you trust in what He has done and you don't keep trying to add to it in your own strength. Trying to add to what Jesus has done is the biggest blasphemy out. Don't do that. Rely entirely on Him.
When we lose a loved one it is natural to wonder how they are faring in the next life. I would warn against going to a medium to find out. At worst these people are charlatans after your money, the rest misguided or worse. We are told in the Bible not to try to reach the dead. The best person to call on in this situation is Jesus. That's right, go to the top. He is always available through prayer and doesn't make a charge. All he requires is that you look for him with all your heart. He has the answers to all of life's difficult questions.
