(Sorry for the long winded story)
I am an unbeliever. Now before you cast me aside please hear me out because I need help. I do believe that the Christian faith is correct and true. I even thought myself saved at one point. But my conversion wasn't real. I said a prayer and didn't actually have any change of heart, no repentance, no faith. I battled sin for a while but it wasn't true. I was doing good things to try and avoid hell. I fell into salvation by works unintentionally. I thought I had repented, I thought I was doing well by trying to do my best. But there was always a gnawing thought in my mind that said I was working for salvation. It turned out to be true. I was never saved to begin with. My prayers were just lip service. My repentance was fake/non-existent. And my heart was hard.
Now it has escalated. I've fallen away from God. I know the gospel. I know the truth but I reject it. I enjoy sexual sin, inappropriate contentography, masturbation. I enjoy having hatred in my heart. I loathe my parents. And my heart is hard. I enjoy sinning. And I do it willfully. I don't care!!! I sin without thinking about the consequences. And when I do think about hell I say, "its worth it." I have no sorrow for sin. I sin without remorse and I have a seared conscience as Paul called it. I have a reprobate mind. And my mental state is deteriorating fast. But I came across Romans 1:24 and now I'm worried. This scripture says that there are some sinners that are so resistant to the grace of God that God hands them over to themselves, to sin. God has judged them by giving them what they want. He lets them spiral into sin and lets the sin overwhelm them so they're hearts are hardened. He rips away any understanding of the truth they have and lets them be spiritually blind.
This is a perfect description of me. I'm slightly worried that this is where I am at this point. I truly believe I have sinned so much that I am beyond saving, that God has given up on me. Now I only have the creeping certainty in my mind that I am going to hell. And the scariest thing about it, is that I don't even fear IT!!!! I continue to commit sexual sins with no fear or reverence. I continue to hate my parents with no respect for them or God. My tongue is filled with lies and profanity. I KNOW THE TRUTH AND STILL REJECT IT!!! My heart has become so hardened by my own stupid actions that I can't be changed even by Gods words or warnings. I don't feel any sorrow for sin. No sorrow for sin means no repentance. No repentance means no salvation. Everything I do is a fake effort. Maybe me writing this is even is false half baked effort to at least ease my conscience. Every day goes by and I think tonight I will repent, tomorrow I will repent. But they day. Never. Comes.
I need help...Am I beyond saving? Has God given me to my sin? I have a reprobate mind and I am headed for hell....Is it truly too late....
But yet there is a piece of me that says its not too late. But it may just be my conscience trying to ease itself as hell approaches. Trying to deceive myself into thinking I have a chance at salvation without actually acting on it.
