Bible Question: I'm puzzled by Galations 5:19-24. I want to know if you have committed any of these and repented are you safe from being kept from receiving the kingdom of God. I have been saved a long time and committed one of these fleshly sin's but have repented, has God rejected my prayer like he did with Saul over the Amelikites? help! |
Bible Answer: Paul is speaking of the "sins of the flesh" in the passage you quote. He states "for the flesh doth desire contrary to the Spirit." We have ALL sined and come short of the glory of God! There is but one UNFORGIVABLE sin, and that is to sin against the Holy spirit "Ghost". If, when you pray it seems that at times the Lord is farther away, it is not He who moved. Sin seperates us from Him. Repent in sincerity, confess, and if you have accepted His Son, You WILL be forgiven. Whether you have forgiven yourself or not. Learn to "walk in the spirit" and you will enjoy the fruits thereof, mentioned in 5:22. One of which is the peace you seem to be looking for. George |
