Still fear I'm not saved

[DeerGlow]

from all the warnings in the bible , hell is real, the lake of fire is real
YET I have no fear , just peace of mind.
if I lose all , so be it
if I even am killed so be it.
Why do you fear ..........................he who fears is not perfected in love.
LOVE of GOD, of RIGHEOUSNESS, of brethren , even love your enemies.
pray to GOD to perfect you IN HIS LOVE
and beware mans version of love .
if you want to see love in action...................read what JESUS said , pual wrote.
do not follow an unequally yoked love. that is mans version.
Follow JESUS pattern. LOVE the TRUTH . the truth will show you how to love.

Why do I fear? Because I am unsure of my salvation.

Relax.
The yoke is easy and the load is light.

I bet you don't forgive yourself much.
And maybe you don't forgive others much...
This is hellish, isn't it...

Relax.
Forgive.
You'll feel better.

I am so afraid. All over the bible there seem to be examples of going too far and condemnation. I'm so scared.

But Jesus came.
He gave you the answer you seek.
It's just that His answer is so simple and easy, you don't believe it.

Relax.
Forgive.
You'll feel better.

What about Matthew 7:12? Not everyone who cries Lord, Lord...?

DeerGlow...

Have you admitted you are a sinner?

Do you believe that Jesus Christ paid the sin debt of all man kind (past, present, future) when He died on the cross in our place?

Do you believe that He rose again to defeat sin and death?

Do you believe the ONLY way you can get to Heaven is by changing your lost mind to believe everything stated above?

If so, you are saved.

Do listen to those who try to tell you that your abundance of works will keep you saved or that your lack of works will lose your salvation...

THE ONLY think that saves you is FAITH in what Jesus Christ did for you...

Don't let man nor the devil make you doubt what Christ has done...

I'm sorry.
I don't understand...

At the judgement some will cry Lord, Lord to Jesus and be sent away into condemnation hearing "Get away from Me you evil doers! I never knew you." What if that's me?

Romans 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

DeerGlow,

Remember the verse "For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things (I John 3:20)." Suffering feelings of doubt in faith is something many people experience. I have. Try ignoring these thoughts. As writer Phillip Cary has noted, "the doctrine of justification by faith alone does not mean we rely on faith. For faith itself does not rely on faith. Faith does not rely on itself but rather on the truth of the Word of God." Looking internally instead of to God's Word will only lead to further doubt.

Snap out of it, darling.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.

If you are mean and bad, you already know hell...

If you aren't...you never will.

 

[The Brown Brink]

Rest yourself.

When you do wrong, admit it.
Repent.
Ask for forgiveness.
Promise to try to do better.
You'll feel better.

And when others do you wrong, tell them so.
Then forgive them.

Once you forgive...you begin to realize...that others will, too.
