What can I do?

[sweetheather]

The first time I had intercourse was when I was 19 with my now husband. The first time we had sex was a little over a month before we were married. I saw something today that said that "those who fornicate have no place in the kingdom of heaven." What can I do to get right with God? I go to church and consided myself a good christian, but I wasn't really thinking about this. I have prayed and asked for forgiveness, but can I still get into Heaven?

Heather,
You are okay. If you have asked for forgiveness and have asked Christ into your heart as Lord and Savior, there is no sin that is too big for him to wash white as snow through Jesus' blood. He lived, died, and rose again for your past, present, and future sins. Isn't that amazing! That means he knows you will sin in the future but has already taken care of them if you are willing to come to him. If you have done this already and have asked for forgiveness, allow yourself to experience the grace of God and the peace that surpasses all understanding. Do not let the evil one convince you that you are not good enough or that you are still not forgiven for something you have asked and repented for. If you have never truly asked Christ to be Lord of your life, then that is where you need to begin. And you DO have a place in the book of life! Once Jesus is Lord, you can never be ripped from his hand--NEVER! May God give you peace.

Just ask God for forgivness. You have already repented since you are now married to the man. Just ask God to erase that from his book and to help you to focus on the future and not dwell on mistakes of the past.

The main point is that you are not fornicating anymore (i'm assuming). You've repented for it, and there is certainly nothing wrong with having sex with him now. If you have asked for God's forgiveness, and you don't feel forgiven, maybe you should consider asking God to help you forgive yourself.

Well, of course you can! If you repented and asked forgiveness, walk in the freedom that God has forgiven you. He shows mercy and loves us. He didn't give us his son for nothing. Cast off the spirit of condemnation...it has no place in repentant heart.

Be blessed,
Nan

Relax. What you did is not that big a deal. You are now married to him. Enjoy each other.

Yes, God has forgiven you long ago (around 2000 year ago, on the cross). You have no need to feel condemned. And don't think that your marriage or sex will suffer by being a month early. It won't unless you allow yourself to be condemned unnecessarily.
