thats good your faith is growing
God has already put signs in the world and continues to put more out there every day
1. Bible - read it
2. preaching
3. works He does through His people their vocations skills etc.
4. miracles
5. miraculous healings
6. works of mercy and love
if those "good" things like love are not enough to melt your heart and want to do good instead of evil then there is fear of God. He has made the world and the universe so vast to display His awesome powers so that people will feel humility through their sheer insignificance. that humility and desire for truth and doing the right thing is what God loves and conversely he hates pride and arrogance someone who has to know everything as if we are even capable
if good deeds and love nor fear of God are enough to cause someone to repent, there are always punishments
God tests your heart over and over again in your life big and small ways to see what your soul desires
those whose hearts seek to do evil and call it good justifying their hearts sinful desires they disbelieve God, or they question God, or they create their own religion and tell God to come worship them instead of the other way around, there are increasing annoyances, inconveniences, punishments and consequences, finally death and destruction to wake someone up
the damned soul is one who has persistently proven to God throughout their life that their heart eternally seeks to do evil whatever it wants regardless of consequences
