First of all, I HIGHLY recommend you see a psychiatrist for an official diagnosis of OCD (I presume you accidentally left out the word "not" in your first sentence) and only assume you do have the disorder which you very well may based on your post. There is appropriate medication that a doctor could prescribe that could greatly lessen the severity of your obsessions. OCD is correlated to a disruption of the neurotransmitter serotonin in the brain and a proper med will address it. I should know as I have both OCD and generalized anxiety disorder; I've also been a believer for well over 15 years.

Second, you might find this post Religious OCD | Made of Millions Foundation insightful.

While I could post a dozen encouraging verses addressing your self-doubt regarding your spiritual position before the Lord, spending time in scripture is tantamount to advice and medication. You need to comprehend the character and nature of God which will contribute to inner peace. Even if it's just reading the Psalms in lieu of the epistles or Old Testament passages, just dedicating yourself to understanding God deeper will provide assurance on how He views and feels about you, i.e. develop deeper intimacy with Him. I myself have done this and God feels in many respects like the loving father I never had.

Finally, when I am struggling with obsessions I interrupt the tormenting thinking patterns by doing something benign such as watching a nature documentary on You Tube, the Weather Channel, or doing chores around the house. It helps disrupt the cycle.

The wages of sin is death. All the thinking you do seems to have you going around in circles. Have you ever considered learning some skill, trade, or useful academic knowledge? Should you familiarize yourself with the Gospels and pertinent verses supporting the Gospels? I spent time studying health and nutrition. Some of my brain fog dissipated. I studied Sermon on the Mount. If someone insults me, I may try to pray the person might repent to receive forgiveness rather than plot some verbal counter attack.

Not everything is a sin but God's forgiveness is far far greater than our ability to sin and once he has forgiven us he unlike us does not remember them.

As suggested get professional help.

While doing that rethink what you are trusting in.
If you are trusting in Jesus, then work out why and trust him.

Praying for you. It's hard dealing with repeated thoughts in your mind but if you find something you love doing, for example sewing, it takes your mind away from those thoughts and you hear less of them. God bless
