1 | a more revealing light. | Rom 8:32 | Glory Bound | 132621 | ||
We all have our ups and downs, our spiritually strong and weak moments. Scripture tells us that we are to judge ourselves. When I do this I can imagine nothing other than what it is I know I deserve. And that, most assuredly isn’t what I desire. Though I know without a doubt that my Savior died on the cross to pay the penalty for my sins, I also know, that for every promise in scripture, there is a requirement. There are two sides to every covenant. Try as I may, I cannot uphold my side. My spirit indeed is willing, but my flesh is weak. I do not succumb to the temptation of believing that the only requirement for salvation is to believe, for I know that one must also repent, and that even the demons themselves believe and tremble. Though I am very familiar with scripture, it is when I am weakest that I learn the most. Often I am put in mind of a very familiar passage in a more revealing light. Where do you go when in doubt concerning your salvation? GB |

Dear Glory Bound, What precious words you have posted! In them we read the desire of your heart. That desire for holiness only occurs in a regenerate heart. It was created in you by an act of our Sovereign Lord. To me, the very fact that you struggle is a sign of your salvation. Those who do not struggle with sin have succumbed to it. Where do we go when in doubt concerning anything that He has promised, but to the author and finisher of our faith, to the Lord Himself! While we pray for you, pray for us all! We all struggle with sin! Repentance is a way of life for the believer! Thank you for your vulnerability and openess! In Him, Doc |
