Hi there,
My father is not saved. He has never been a religious man. Did not grow up in church, doesn't know any stories of the bible (save for Christ coming down to die on the cross for us), does not pray, and does not act like a Christian.
We ALL make mistakes, we ALL sin. But I do believe there is a difference between a sinner who has the holy spirit in their heart and someone who does not. A person who has the holy spirit in their heart will sin and feel remorseful and repent and will hopefully try to do better next time. A person who has an empty heart will sin and feel they have done nothing wrong, will feel no remorse, and will ask for no forgiveness.
My father is far from perfect and has acted horribly lately, but knowing he is not saved worries me for his soul. I know, without a doubt, if he died today, he would not be in heaven. And no matter how much he has hurt my mother and me, I don't want him in hell.
I believe in the power of prayer. Thank you to any and everyone who says a quick and silent prayer for him.
God bless!
