Tests of Faith

[Gentle Lamb]

What are the most difficult battles you've faced in your walk of faith with Christ, the most severe ways your faith has been tested, and how did you endure/overcome those situations?

My own failures, and the guilt and shame that follow. I know He will forgive. But dealing with my own regrets are tough.

 

[Gentle Lamb]

Yes, you're right, dealing with regrets is tough! God forgives us, but we also have to remember to forgive ourselves. Sometimes, self forgiveness is unfortunately the hardest part.

True repentance is the only way to overcome and restore ones walk with Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Once the mind is changed, by the help of His Holy Spirit, there is complete freedom from guilt.
Blessings.

Amen Maria. But even after true, sincere repentance, the devil, the accuser of the brethren, still comes to accuse us and remind us of our own sins. I've found it helpful to meditate on scripture at times like that. One that really helped me is 2 Corinthians 5:17

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

That helped me a lot when the enemy kept reminding me of my old sins that I had repented of. It's always the word of God that will help us defend against such attacks of the enemy.

I believe guilt is from Satan however the" reminder" is from our Father through His Holy Spirit. I am reminded of how it feels to commit a sin that is both hurtful to God and to others and in turn keeps me from repeating it over and over. Blessings.

That's an interesting way of looking at it. God sure does not want us to repeat our same sins.

Trusting in His faithfulness can definitely be a challenge! God always stands by His word and honors it, and yet we struggle with our own doubts. How difficult those struggles can be!
