Bible Question: I am not really sure if I should ask this question or not; but my soul has been perplexed for a couple of days. And my desire is to be pleasing in God's sight. I do understand God's word and I know right from wrong. However, my flesh has overruled my better judgement and I have fallen into sin. I am in turmoil over this and want to be forgiven of God, I am not sure if I should tell my husband or just leave it between me and the Lord. I am really confused and I know it is because of the sin, that I feel this way. My main concern is what to do, will God forgive me? am I lost forever because I knew what God required of me and that sin has no place in my life. i am so confused, I do not want to burn in hell for eternity, I desire to be before the thorne of God crying out HOLY HOLY HOLY God Almighty is HOLY. What should I do. Am I lost for eternity? Scriptures please. |
Bible Answer: First of all, have you been born again? If you have been born again then this sin was not premeditated. The first thing you need to do is tell your husband and ask God for forgiveness. If you have been born again then God will forgive you and you may continue to live holy. Satan has many tricks because he is a master deceiver. It take Christ to see Satan at work. Therefore Christ must become your eyes. This can only happen if you live in the spirit and not the flesh. Now no the other hand, if you have never stop sinning in your life and you specifically set out to committ this sin despite already knowing that it was wrong then you have not been born again. Despite popular beleif that a person keep sinning and God will keep forgiving him is not true. God forgives a person when their intentions are to stop sinning. Remember God looks at the heart of person. Going to church does not make a person born again. Only you and God know if you have been born again or but search yourself and be truthful with yourself. If you have been born again then simply ask God and your husband for forgivenss. God will forgive you and you are eternally saved. If you have not been born again then ask Christ to save you from you sins, be baptize and continue to live after the scriptures. A word of advise; if you don't want to get wet then please don't walk on the bank of the river because it is very slippery and you can easily fall in. Also talk to your Pastor about this situation and don't stop until it is resolved. Please fill free to write me back if you have any questions. With much love Andrew jr. |
