Bible Question:
Please, I want to know if I was a believer when a teenager, and over the years became a unbeliever, and now believes again, can I come home again? Had been a Catholic, met Jesus on retreat as teenager, over years became convinced that all religion wasn't real. Would argue with believers that Jesus was no more than a myth. Now have come to be convinced that Jesus is the Christ. Would like to be forgiven, but concerned about the references in Heb 6:4-8 and Heb 10 about not being able to come back. Is that true? If people actually did commit this unpardonable sin, do they spend the rest of their lives regretting it, only to be filled with a " fearful expectation of judgement? I'm desperate for an answer. Please help. If this isn't the place to ask such questions, I'm sorry. |
Bible Answer: God's love, purpose and His destination for you will never change. The Word says let every man be a liar, but let God be true. The devil will put doubt in your mind, and if he can convince you that there is no way back to God, well, he's done his job, BUT DON'T BELIEVE IT! Jesus is the author and finisher of your faith, and my friend, He's not finish with you. WELCOME HOME, enter into His rest. Come in agreement with His will for you, and partake of the plan He has prepared for you. There is no condemnation to those who are "IN" Christ Jesus, so don't beat yourself up, God Loves You! Jhn 10:27 "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me; Jhn 10:28 and I give eternal life to them, and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand. Jhn 10:29 "My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand.(NASB) |
