My OCD is acting up big time today.
I have a Daily Devotional book that I read before praying each morning. The one
I had yesterday was on Repentance. It mentioned that once you truly repent you
never do that sin again.
And that started my panic/anxiety attacks. It made me wonder whether I truly ever
repented and, as a result, was ever really saved. There has always been a couple
of sins that I have always had problems with. Problems meaning temptations, etc.
Mainly thoughts, etc. Before I was saved and after. There are times when I give
into the temptation and times, I hate to admit it, when there's not much
temptation but I slip anyway.
And it got me to thinking if repentence means I never do that sin again then I
havent' truly repented. It is so confusing and I don't know what to think about
it. To me, repentence was you turn from a sin centered life not you will never
sin that particular sin again. But then I wonder, what if I'm wrong and this
other person is right? What if I haven't truly repented and I'm not really
saved? It just confused me and I was hoping you could provide me some insight.
