Subject: One example of loosing salvation NT |
Bible Note: Andrew, I feel your torment. All of us experience times where are faith is challenged and we question what we believe. Im not sure what exact issue you are struggling with, it sounds like the salvation issue. You can be assured that if know that you are a sinner and have repented and placed your trust in Christ alone,His death buriel and resurrection, you are saved. Settled! To grow you must be in God's word and be lifted up with prayer and support from other christians. Books that have helped me defend the faith are The Case for Christ, by Lee Srobel and The Case for Faith, by Lee Strobel. More Than A Carpenter by Josh McDowell. Other works include If there is a God why are there Atheist? by RC Sproul. Anything by Sproul is good. Well, I am sure I can speak for all the christians on the forum, that we love you as a brother and want to encourage you stay focused of Him and His word.
