1 | forgiveness confirmed? | 1 John 1:1 | GJH | 61121 | ||
Back on 9/12 I posted my first question. I asked if I had possibly lost my chance at salvation, through committing an unpardonable sin. The encouragement received through the responses was wonderful. It had ended a three year struggle. Now, only a few days later, my joy has been replaced by a fear that I seem incapable to fight. The question is, am I supposed to experience something definative to confirm that my relationship with the Lord has been restored? It seems to me that there should be. Any comments would be appreciated, it's been a long day. | ||||||
2 | forgiveness confirmed? | 1 John 1:1 | JRdoc | 61122 | ||
Salvation is of the Lord! Salvation is NOT an emotion it is a relationship. My guess is something happened that you are not happy with and now Satan has filled your heart with doubt? He is good at that. He desires us to react and relax in our emotions instead of faith in Christ ALONE. Go to 1 John. This book is written to give you assurance. Read and "study" it. The good news is this. You came and posted it! Someone who has committed the unpardonable sin (which BTW is only for the 1st century Jew IMHO) does not get convicted by the Holy Spirit of sin--they are lost--they have no interest in God....you are revealing different fruit...fruit ripe with repentance. |

3 | Salvation is of the Lord... | 1 John 1:1 | GJH | 61129 | ||
JRdoc, Thank you for responding. Please, explain "Salvation is of the Lord!". Do you mean that it is the Lord who initiates the desire to come back? If so, what must I do to be sure of my salvation? Is it true that I must believe despite a total lack of any proof or confirmation or conversion experience? I thought the Spirit confirms with our spirits that we are sons. That sounds experiential to me. | ||||||

Greetings GJH! It is the privilege of believers to rejoice in the assurance of our salvation through the testimony of God's Word. John 5:24 "Truly, truly, I say to you, that he who hears my word, and believes him who sent me, has eternal life. And he does not come into condemnation, but has passed from death into life." [RSV] John 6:37-40 "All that the Father gives me will come to me, and he who comes to me I will, no, not cast out. Because I have come down from heaven, not so that I might do my will, but the will of him who sent me. And this is the will of the Father who sent me, that of all that he has given me I would not lose from it, but I will raise it up at the last day. And this is the will of him who sent me, that every man who sees the Son, and believes in him, may have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day." [RSV] John 10:27-30 "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. And I give them eternal life, and they will, no, not perish into the age, and not any will snatch them out of my hand. My Father who has given to me, is greater than all, and not one is able to snatch out of my Father's hand. I and the Father are one." [RSV] Please also see Romans 5:9-10; 8:1,31-39; 1 Cor. 1:4-9; Eph. 4:30; Heb. 7:25; 13:5; 1 Peter 1:4-5 and Jude 24. I pray that these scriptures work for your encouragement! Blessings to you, Makarios |
