Is it possible that I'm doomed? Seriously, I want to break free from this oppression and embrace Christ, but doubt and fear always get in the way. I have a feeling that I am beyond grace and mercy and that I cannot be saved. In that case, why try? (I just hate myself so much for what I did. So much. It's to the point where I don't even know HOW to be a Christian anymore)
What is the Gospel message?
1 Corinthians 15:1-4 Now I make known unto you brethren,
the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye received, wherein also ye stand,by which also ye are saved, if ye hold fast the word which I preached unto you, except ye believed in vain.For I delivered unto you first of all that which also I received: that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;and that he was buried; and that he hath been raised on the third day according to the scriptures;
Romans 5: 8-10 But God commendeth his own love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, shall we be saved from the wrath of God through him. For if, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, shall we be saved by his life;
John 3:16-18 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on him should not perish, but have eternal life.For God sent not the Son into the world to judge the world; but that the world should be saved through him. He that believeth on him is not judged: he that believeth not hath been judged already, because he hath not believed on the name of the only begotten Son of God.
