1 | Please help a new Christian | Heb 12:2 | zeagle50 | 241838 | ||
hello everyone - I am new to this site. thanks in advance for your help. 1. I have 2 questions: does got punish us for our sins on earth by making us sick? I been sick for about 7 months and I think god is punishing me but iam am confused about it. I recently accepted Jesus as my savior and asked him to come into my life. I told him I believe he died for my sins and through him I can have eternal life. But I don't really feel any different? I don't know if he is really in my life. I have been reading the bible and his promises to us but I just don't feel he is listening / answering my prayers . I pray every day, read, and am trying to have a relationship with him. I am trying to follow the ten commandments, and being a good Christian, but just cant see / feel god in my life Does he not want me? I am really trying to have a relationship with Jesus but I just don't feel it. thanks to all |

John 3:16 (NASB) 16 "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. The word believe can be more than a little confusing to an English speaking person. We use believe in so many ways. The actual word Pisteuo in the Greek means to become dependant. I use the example, " I want to mountain climb so I go to the store and ask for a rope that will support my weight. The salesperson sells me a rope rated for 5000 lbs and tells me this is more than enough to hold me. I buy the rope and walk out of the store believing the rope will hold me. But that is not Pisteuo belief. I go to the mountains and find a huge rock to tie my rope around it and I pull and jerk it and convince myself the rope is strong enough. I believe but even that is not Pisteuo belief. I tie the rope around me and go over the edge of the mountain and lean back a little to see if the rope holds. It does but the is not pisteuo either. It is only when I step off the edge and put my trust/dependance on the rope am I showing Pisteou belief. What I'm describing is not blind faith remember I bought a rope rated for more than enough to hold me, I tied it around a huge rock, I tested it. It is not blind faith in God, but it does require faith in what we trust. You need to learn to trust God. Relax, read your bible trusting in God to show you His love. Become dependant in God for your welfare, your health, your security. Scripture tells us God is a our physican. Trust in God over this illness. Trust in God! |
