Is it to late to start my life before God returns

[Jilly81]

Yes But Iam still learning about him every day that he works me up But the problem is me and my boyfriend Have been having sex and I don't want to rush him to get married but I want to do the right thing by god as well

To do the right thing by God, stop having sex, instead of getting married to "make it okay". After you two develop a closer walk with Jesus, you can marry if you still feel led, and having been celibate for awhile will just make it all the better .

Also, I have no idea why you think that we won't remember anyone from Earth once we get to Heaven, but I've never seen ANY evidence of that in the Bible. Am I misunderstanding what you're saying?

well if you have been having sex with him and have not previously had sex with anyone then God sees you as having been made 'one'. (1Cor 6.16). So why not seal it?

I think you have been scared by these fanatical end times scenerios which are based more on people's imaginations than the Bible.

Whether Jesus comes today or in 1000 years, trust that God is in control. He expects us to occupy till he comes. That could include getting married and having a family, or going to a remote mission field.

My advice is to read the Bible daily, and read it all, not just favourite verses. Pray and seek God for his will for your life. And trust that God is not going to leave you hanging or stranded.

Praying for you to find peace of mind.

PS Throw out all those end times books, CD's and stop you tubing the end times. God will reveal himself in the Bible, without any help from televangelists, I promise!

The malefactor (thief) hanging on a cross next to our Lord asked that he would remembered and the Lord responded and told him that he would be with him in Paradise that very day. This malefactor started his new life that same day. What a great way to start, hanging on a cross to die and ending up with Christ in heaven and itt took less than a day for that to happen. It is never too late to start your life with Christ.

I know I don't need to have children I would like to experience having my own family before he returns but Iam afraid that god will return before I get to experience it for my self. I come to learn that once you go to heaven you wont remember any one who you have a relationship with

Jesus teaches us not to worry about tomorrow. Rejoice in His love and saving grace, and live life to the fullest, always giving thanks for His very real presence in your life.

Wait on the Lord.

"He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it."
Mathews 10:39

Being single and without children is not a sin. To have a marriage is to worry about the things of a marriage.

"But I would have you without carefulness. He that is unmarried careth for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord: {that belong...: Gr. of the Lord}
But he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please {his} wife.
There is difference {also} between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married careth for the things of the world, how she may please {her} husband.
And this I speak for your own profit; not that I may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is comely, and that ye may attend upon the Lord without distraction.
But if any man think that he behaveth himself uncomely toward his virgin, if she pass the flower of {her} age, and need so require, let him do what he will, he sinneth not: let them marry.
Nevertheless he that standeth stedfast in his heart, having no necessity, but hath power over his own will, and hath so decreed in his heart that he will keep his virgin, doeth well.
So then he that giveth {her} in marriage doeth well; but he that giveth {her} not in marriage doeth better."


1 Corinthians 7:32-38

I know to see others with husbands and children makes me feel like I will never get my chance because we are already living in our last days and things are happening in this world to were I fear that god could return any day now and I wont get my chance as I said before I learned that once we get to heaven we wont remember any one that has crossed our paths in our lives on earth

You seem to be really worried to not see your boyfriend again on heaven. Can you imagine how happy and what a big joy we'll be able to see the fathers of faith, or Jesus? Praise Him!

Let's worry about the lost souls that still lives in this cruel world, that die everyday without knowing Jesus hope for the future. Let's not worry too much about the last days, as if we knew the exactly ending day, not even Jesus know it! Only the Father.

"But of that day and hour knoweth no {man}, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only."
Mathews 24:36

 

[pottersclay]

Well to be perfectly blunt it would be better for Jesus to find you married and possibly raising a family than finding you living together and having sex.
It seems like you believe in Christ but does your boyfriend ?
Put a end to this lifestyle one way or another it is not pleasing to the Lord and he cannot and will not bless it.

Please take notice of others on this thread. We are placed here to live out our lives as God intended. As Christians we should look forward to the Lords return but not be so fixated by it that we stop living a normal life. Are we in the last days? Many believe so but believing and knowing are two different things. Every generation has had some who thought so
but have been wrong.

No, we are not guaranteed another minute- neither us, nor the world. You feel this way because you have not seen what's on the other side. But God says our human minds can't even comprehend what God has prepared for those who love Him. It is so much better than here, and if your loved ones obey God also, you will see them again, and we will all live in bodies that do not get hurt, grow old, breathe, or hunger and thirst. I also hope to live a full life, but it's not in my control, but if I do live a full life stressing the whole way, I would have greatly ruined the quality of that full life. I witnessed a man complain for decades that he could die any day now. He did die close to ninety, but look at the decades he wasted being miserable, thinking it could happen any day. Just live as joyfully as you can while keeping on the straight and narrow.

 

[Tintin]

Oh, boy. This is an interesting thread. I'd like to find someone, get married and have children before Jesus returns. But there's no guarantee of that. Also, I think, as much as I want that for my life, anything will pale in comparison to the joyous reality of spending forever and ever on the New Heavens and New Earth with my Creator, Saviour and Lord and every other follower of Christ that has lived and will ever live.

dear sweatpea 86, when the Lord come back, you will not see it as an loss of something. The Lord sees your heart and your longings. Trust him to lead your life, however it will looks like.
