You have already died on the cross with Jesus, and you were raised with him (he died for all sinners, he took on all the sins man committed in the past present and future), the life that you live now is an eternal life for Jesus, You represent him here on earth as he represents you up in heaven before god and the angles, the spirit that you have is not the same spirit that fell as of the first (Adam and Eve) but a new spirit, a life giving spirit that does not contain fear, but rather the spirit of Love, Power and sound mind, so don't be afraid, i'll provide you a scripture as to why you may be later
.
2 Timothy 1:7 "
For God has not given us a spirit of timidity, but of power, love, and self-control"
1 John 5:13 "
I have written these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God,so that you may know that you have eternal life."
2 Corinthians 5:19
"
that God was reconciling the world to Himself in Christ, not counting men’s trespasses against them. And He has committed to us the message of reconciliation.", he didn't come to count your sins, he came to die for you so that you may have a good life, not a life of struggle and confusion, you already know what's on gods mind, John 3:16 "
For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life" that means he loves us... he didn't come here to die for you to still struggle, if you are born again
John 3:5 "
Jesus answered “Truly, truly, I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit." and to be born again is as simply as confessing that Jesus is lord of your life while believe in your heart that he died and rose again, Romans 10:9 "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.", There is so much that people don't seem to know... When you do the above or are (born again), remember what Jesus said in John 16:7 "
But I tell you the truth, it is for your benefit that I am going away. Unless I go away,the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you.", if you are born again, he will come and dwell in you (the spirit of god), god lives in you, John 14:16-17 "
And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Advocate to be with you forever — 17 the Spirit of truth. The world cannot receive Him, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him. But you do know Him, for He abides with you and He will be in you.…", and guess what? he is greater then all that is in the world and all that you will ever face, he is who you turn to for guidance in place of Jesus since Jesus is in heaven representing you before god and the angels. 1 John 4:4 "
You, little children, are from God and have overcome them, because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world."
Check out pastor Chris and some of his teachings on YouTube, God loves you Dkarla, neither will he forsaken you or want you to suffer in anyway, as you are his child Romans 8:16- "For you did not receive a spirit of slavery that returns you to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship (doughtership in your case), by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!” 16
The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. 17 And if we are children, then we are heirs: heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ—if indeed we suffer with Him, so that we may also be glorified with Him.…"
when you are born again, it is your spirit that is born again, and of the will of god.
John 1:13 "
children born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but born of God.", the physical body gains life from the blood, when Jesus died, his blood had drained out, "
Instead, one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water flowed out." and so when he was resurrected, he didn't have blood, 1 Corinthians 15:45 "
So it is written: “The first man Adam became a living being;” the last Adam a life-giving spirit." a life-giving spirit, that's the same spirit you have when you're born again. like the physical body your spirit will need to grow, the bible or the word of god is food for your spirit, walk from glory to glory, The holy spirit is very gentle and a guest and will not speak to you as much unless you ask; John 14:26 "
But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have told you." we are suppose to commune with the holy spirit, he looks after us and shows us what we have as we partake in the divine nature. (this is a bit too much info so i'll cut it short to avoid confusion if there isn't any already
,
Now as i'v said earlier the reason you may be afraid may be because of this, Romans 12:2 "
Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to discern what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God.", i can't 100% remember the information but in one of pastor Chris's videos he uses an example of a DVD player, your mind is the CD, and your Eternal life is the new DVD player, if you were to place in the same CD (mind) that you played on the old DVD player, it will play the same thing, even though you have a new DVD player, so what you need to do is get a new CD (renew your mind), and to do this is simply to learn god's word through listening, watching videos, and read the bible as it is written for your learning with the guidance of the holy spirit, without him, you will read it just like any other book.
This should be enough for now
