AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 John 1:1 [I am writing about] what existed from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we have looked at and touched with our hands, concerning the Word of Life [the One who existed even before the beginning of the world, Christ]-- |
Bible Question: 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 Now, only a few days later, my joy has been replaced by a fear that I seem incapable to fight.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. |
Bible Answer: 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. |
