Bible Question: I have sinned against God AFTER accepting Jesus into my heart by marrying two different men. My first husband led me to believe that he was headed in the same direction as me...I was young and naive at the time. Years later I fell in love with another man and told my husband. I moved out and had sex with this man prior to marriage. He is a Mormon. We are now married. Have I lost my salvation? I love my husband dearly and fear that I have made God so mad that I'm no longer saved. Some might say that since I did these things that I was NEVER saved, but I honestly don't believe that. However, in the bible it says something like "be careful not to lose your salvation". If I have lost my salvation, is there any "way" to get it back? I have recently started going back to church on a regular basis and have been involved with the members a lot more. I know that what I did was wrong, but still followed my sinful desires (unfortunately). I don't know if the Spirit is convicting me of this, if I'm convicting myself, or if the devil is giving me a guilt trip. Please help! I feel lost, ashamed, and don't know what to do. Sometimes I wish I were dead. Also, my family is making it difficult for me. I know that there are consequences for sin, but I can't take back what I've already done. Like I said, I do love my husband. Am I supposed to divorce him to show true repentence? Please advise. Thanks! dat |
Bible Answer: Dat The fact this is troubling you is proof the Holy spirit is still working in your life. Your married now and you need to get youself settled with the Lord. Your Mormon husband what does he feel? Is he willing to seek the true Jesus or is he firm in his Mormonism? Until you get this resolved your going to continue to have problems. We are told not to unequally yoke ourselves for a reason. That being it is God's intention is for man and wife to bone of bone and flesh of flesh. If you have the Holy Spirit in you, which you do because your bothered about your situation, your spirit and your husband's spirit is in contention. You need to sit down and talk with him. He needs to understand this. He needs to find Jesus. If he refuses your spirit will remain in turmoil. You need to talk to your Pastor and ask your family for their help and prayers. My heart goes out to you!! EdB |
