How I know I’m saved? I feel as if I say I need God in my life, but rely a lot on sinful things to try to run away from my problems. I’m very ignorant, and in my anxiety, I have hid away from God not reading the Bible as much as I should have so sorry for my foolishness, I’m hoping I can get more confidence the more I understand. Sorry also that I ramble on, and this is so long.
Is being saved a major moment of life where at one time I realize I need God, and later on even if I sin my main hope is in God when I realize sins can’t satisfy me. Or is it sinful of me to wait so long going to God when it’s most convenient and I’m most miserable?
How do I stay prepared for God to not be too late, and if I don’t get prepared enough for God does that mean I was never really saved to begin with?
God says if I love him, I will follow his commandments, so if I don’t follow his commandments I was never really saved to begin with. Being imperfect, I will always sin so, do I know I’m not really saved if I completely give up following his commandments and don’t come back acting as if everything is fine without his truth? Can I follow God, sin at some moments willingly, but then at the end realize I need God’s truth more than lies if it takes a short amount of time?
I haven’t been following God’s commandments, because I have had a misunderstanding of grace expecting to be saved by MY concept of what believing in God is. I’ve wrongly believed that God’s grace is sufficient so I can sin all I want, but am I really saved, I make so much excuses like “I am sinning, but I feel miserable and empty so does that mean I’m still saved...?”
It’s just, why do I keep wanting to have so much high stakes in life to seek God? I wish I wanted to seek God just because of who he is, but I keep procrastinating only wanting to do something now if it affects my salvation.
How do I really seek God in the now and really know I’m saved? How do I seek more of his truth without procrastinating in lies?
“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,” will enter the kingdom of heaven,but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
Matthew 7:21
By procrastinating so much, will I be sent away from God? The road to heaven is narrow, and I just don’t feel like such a person good enough for a challenge. Before meeting God I didn’t feel like I could do anything, being so much of a coward to pain I wanted to die, I now want to live for God because of who he is, but it’s just so different. I feel so nervous of not being prepared enough and not being saved to begin with, it terrifies me.
The biggest reason I’m with God is because without Him, everything feels so meaningless and I just feel so upset with everybody’s concept of truth, I never know what is really real and with God I can finally have some hope and sanity. I just don’t deserve to stay with him at all, I’m so lazy and overconfident, it’s as if I have the answers to a school test but I wait till last second to fill out everything and then I’m only too late. I can’t just wait when sinning gets old and I’m tired of it, because then I’m too late! Being tired of sin just doesn’t feel good enough to me, I need to really go to him.
How should I stay obedient doing God’s will instead of waiting so long?
Thank you for taking your time to listen. I’m hoping I’m asking the right questions which can help get closer to God.
