1 | child made during adultry | John 3:16 | sgosh | 166709 | ||
BradK Thanks for the response. I am a new believer an I guess I am a little confused over what was written and what "Ocelot" said. He said, "David was referred to as “a man after God’s own heart.” Yet he committed adultery and topped it off with murder. I’m not justifying those things, but I’m saying that God can forgive those sins. And He WILL, if you CONFESS them." So I hope you can see how I was confused. I was just saved a 2 weeks ago. I agree with you, and my pastor showed me in the bible just as you have said. So, my question is, and pardon me if this sounds really stupid, but I know my sins were forgiven by God through Christ's death on the cross, Colossians 1:14. Am I forgiveness of my sins only until we got saved, and then I have different rules to follow now that I am saved or do the same rules apply as when I got saved? I was told the rules are the same. I'm trying to read and understand as much as possible about this, but most people seem to contradict each other. I just want to believe what the bible says, and Pastor says to pray that God gives me understanding before I start to read it and I do pray this prayer. Is this other stuff that is being said in another part of the bible, I haven't read yet? I mean, I'm not perfect and I still have some addictions, but I was told and read in the bible that all this was forgiven once I accept Christ as my Savior. Am I reading and hearing this properly?

Sam, Jesus loves you. He will forgive you for the things you do. I'm not saying that we should live like the devil and then ask God to forgive us everyday and do these things again tomorrow. I am saying noone is perfect and God knows that while we are in these fleshly bodies we never will be, but he expects us to do the best we can. When you were a child at home your parents didn't just throw you away because you made a mistake they tried to help show you how not to do this again. (At least they were supposed to I know there are some parents out there that are in real trouble themselves.) If you just keep trusting God and seeking wisdom and ask for his help overcoming your addictions you will succeed. He won't take them away from you you have to give them up yourself but he will help you with the process and it is a process. You didn't become addicted overnight and you may not stop overnight. Souknds like your pastor is leading you in the right direction. Just know that your christian brothers and sisters will help you as much as possible your christian friend , Md1234 |
