Bible Question (short): Please help a new Christian |
Question (full): 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 |
