Doubts

I am sure people will come to you soon dear, but while you wait go to this thread here

They talk about just what your question is and a lot of them do very well explaining that if you are a Christian you are secure. It isnt about how you feel. Feeling s can lie to you. It is about the promises of Jesus and whether He is able to get the job done or not. The answer is Yes He is more than capable of saving you and keeping you away from satan.

Read the thread.

Hi Humble,
Welcome to the forum. I'm so glad you found us.
I can't diagnose whether you have OCD or not. But based on what you've posted you might. I had it for many, many years without a clue as to what it was.
OCD is called "The doubting disease". It will generally attach itself to those things or relationships that are the nearest and dearest to us. So if you are a Christian and you have OCD it will, at some point latch onto your relationship with Christ and cause you to begin to question whether or not that relationship is secure. Those questions will weigh on you very heavily and cause a tremendous surge of anxious, fear filled feelings. That fear will create such a sense of urgency in you that you will feel the need to obtain certainty in regard the question. But if you have OCD, the more you search for that certainty, the less certain you will feel about the answer. The answer will never seem to suffice and you will feel compelled to press on and keep checking for some measure of certainty. This means that the question and associated anxiety will be your constant companions, stuck in your head. This can be mentally excruciating.
If this sounds familiar to you and if you've ever had this sort of thing happen in regard to other themes - like health issues - or human relationships - then you might very well be suffering from OCD.
Praying for you,
Mitzi

Hi! I don't know if I have OCD. But I have a problem. I've been doubting my salvation for many months. Everytime I try to trust Christ alone to save me, I get doubts and thoughts that say that I did it wrong, or that I really don't believe. Worse yet that I committed the unpardonable sin. What do I do?

You may have doubts but I know Jesus does not. You were called before the world was formed and He knew your name before you were born. I believe that people are called to be saved. I believe you were called or you wouldnt be here. You are saved or you wouldnt be worried about it.

An unsaved wouldnt spend 10 seconds worrying about that. Just like you dont spend 10 seconds worrying abut how you will pitch a perfect game in the world series.

It either is or isnt a part of your life. In your case dear, Jesus is part of your life!

Definitely! but from everything you have said already I believe you to be so already. But I would be honored to help.

PM me if you would like.

How are you doing dear?

well thank God! The feelings from OCD may come and go dear but Gods love will never waver! Never ever do you need to worry about that!

you just have to remind yourself OFTEN that it isnt about what you have done right or wrong or repented right.. etc... its about what HE did 2000 years ago all you do is say yes i accept you Jesus as my substitute... and thats IT.. everything else gradually falls into place ' there is no sinners prayer in the bible or right way to do it.... it has already been done... IT IS FINISHED....
i agree with the others if you werent saved or wanting Jesus.. you wouldnt be here... its just that ocd keeps you going in a circle... just when you finally get some relief, doubt creeps back in and seems to suck the life right out of you again...
we just MUST live with some uncertainties and just trust the our Jesus is sooooo loving and alll knowing that HE is bigger and greater than our doubts and fears... so we must hand it over to Him.. and trust HIM to do whats right by us... and He will


pj

i'm worrying again today, having those same terrible thoughts about being saved even though i know i am because i asked Christ in my life a long time ago. that ocd always wants constant reassurrance, please pray for me and i've already thanked the Lord for leading me to this website. i love all of y'all

That's one thing I'm worried about. How do I know when the Holy Spirit is done dealing with me? I've heard the Gospel many times. That means that if I don't accept it, there is a huge chance I might commit the unforgivable sin. So, how do I stop myself from committing it?

Now this is what im trying to explain that I think happened to me. I am much older than you are and have been exposed to the gospel even more.

The fact that I turned my back on the Gospel and lived in willfull unrepentant sin for 10+yrs is pretty strong evidence that I crossed the line.

The only reason you're not getting saved is because you don't want to. Jesus says that He wouldn't cast out those who come to Him. If you come to Him, He promises to save you. Just repent right now!

Your saying I dont want to be saved? are you kidding me? I want this more than anything else in the world.

How about you? doesnt what you are saying to me apply to you as well since your worrying about the same thing?

what line?

God's mercy endures forever


triumphs over justice

is new every morning

endures to all generations

Jesus blood cleanses us from all unrighteousness

nothing is impossible to Jesus

who invites all to come

and drink freely from the Water of Life

is avaliable to all who come

Jesus says that He wouldn't cast out those who come to Him. If you come to Him, He promises to save you.

Ann, I have pointed out in scripture before that a person can indeed harden their heart to the point that God stops dealing with the person. There is proof of this all througout the Bible and when a person comes to that point he is done. Period. There are also real life testimonies of people who have crossed this line while still yet alive on this earth.

People today seem to have the idea that God is only a God of mercy and it does not matter how long you trifle with his patience and mercy. That could not be further from the truth as God is also a God of justice.

I do appreciate what your trying to do for me but I must say that I have to disagree with some of your perspectives.
