God forgive you. I am having a hard time doing so.
I am only 19, and i am terrified of the end of the world, i really think i will go to hell because of some bad things that i have done/ still doing, but it's complicated. I am so afraid it's keeping me awake at night, i am literally terrified, i am scared to even open my bible because i feel like God hates me. Please can someone help me?
Yes i believe in all thoses things but, i am in a sexual relationship with my boyfriend who is not a christian, and it hurts me everyday, but i love him too much to break up with him. I love god, and want to live for him, by being a missionary or charity work, but i just hate myself so so much for this, ad i have no idea what to do anymore. Has anyone else been through this? Please someone help me, i am lost.
Perhaps it is sin against the church and the members of Christ's body when some condemn and judge it with their prophecies that are contrary to the work of edification that Christ is doing in His church and body through mercy and grace and through the preaching of the whole counsel of God. Perhaps those that do this have been blinded by the god of this world as to the preciousness of the church which is God's purchased possession that has been redeemed by the blood of Christ. This same church that has been raised up by God and built upon Christ which the gates of hell will not prevail against.
Yes i know this, but i dont want to lose the love that me and him share, i dont want to break our hearts, i am not as strong as you are, I cant break somebodys heart, i know how much it hurts. Surely causig him pain will not help his path to god either? I know the sex is wrong, but the love i feel for him, i dont know what i would do without him. And im sure suicide is the ultimate sin?
I wish things were easier.
And how is God building this church?
Answer this simple question, telling us by what agency He is building us into a house for Him to inhabit.
The agency is the Holy Spirit who takes grace and the word of God to edify and build up the members of the church, Christ's body, as a habitation of God. Those that have the Spirit and are filled with the Spirit and walk in the Spirit are edifying the church and building up each member through the word of God's grace. Those that condemn and judge the church by making prophecies against it, do not edify and are of another (s)pirit and not the Spirit of God. The Holy Spirit has been given to build up believers with the truth, with the promises of God, with grace and by every word of God. That is the work of God that we take on through the Spirit as believers and the gates of hell will not prevail against it.
