I have spent about 6 hours today trying to figure out the answers to a couple questions. And I feel like I will lose my salvation if I don’t get the answers right. At this point, I am just going in circles in my mind.
Hi there🥰 I’m not sure if you have a Christian background, but if u do, you can rest in Jesus promise that whoever believes in him has eternal life( salvation) . John 3:16 , 1 John 5:13, are good verses to help🤗 It sounds like ocd is messing with you, trying to get u to ruminate, talk with your ocd specialist they can help, all the nocd therapists are trained in erp therapy, if u don’t have an ocd therapist I highly recommend nocd , they are great! It helps so much, I had severe ocd but got relief thru help with nocd / erp therapy. They can give u tools to combat ocd’s lies and getting stuck in the ocd thought loop. Hang in there , there’s hope, you’re not alone🤗💝
One more I just remembered, hope it encourages you🤗 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast. Ephesians 2:8-9❤️
Hi, only God can judge because there are so many nuances and variables in this life so you will never find complete certainty for salvation. There are basic principles of course you should follow in any religion but ask yourself if God would really want you to suffer the way you are. Just do the best you can do while still living your life. You're feeding OCD by looking content up online and by trying to ruminate, figure stuff out. It's difficult but tell yourself "there's no way to know if I have salvation"
Whats your question maybe I can help
I need some help. I keep having thoughts that I don’t believe in God anymore or that I don’t want to believe in God. I have always believed but I just recently started following him more closely. I did ask for Jesus to come into my heart. But now I’m scared that I have lost my salvation. It’s hard to read and pray and I keep getting thoughts that I don’t believe what I reading or that God won’t forgive the sins that I have done. I have been having panic attacks and I’m afraid I’m going to go to hell or I’m afraid that it’s true and I don’t believe in God. I’m also afraid that since God does know my heart what if it truly isn’t for him. I just need some help I’m afraid I’m never going to get back to normal.
I been going to church looking for answers about my false memories if they are even false and overall ocd. Everything that I'm learning about ocd ultimately I get told that it's due to sin and that's why I feel overwhelmed and have the urge to confess on things idk if they are real or not. I just dont know whats my truth my mind Is saying one thing but I need a lot of confirmation if what im thinking its true thats why i been seeking confirmation going to church. Would appreciate a response or if anyone is going through this 🙏
So I’m not sure how many/if any of you are Christians, but I’m assuming this can still make sense to some of you. This morning has been rough. I’m constantly thinking, “am I saved? Have I never been saved and I’m tricking myself into thinking I am? When I’m listening to Christian music am I doing for the right reasons? Is it too late for me?”. Things I know the truthful answers to but yet I still think these thoughts. I don’t understand why. Why do I constantly think about these “what if”’s? My heart always feels so heavy and I feel as if I need to talk to God right then and there to make it stop and go away. But then am I talking to the Lord for the wrong reasons? And the cycle repeats. Thankfully, day one of my therapy is tonight and I’m hoping to find at least a little clarity on this stuff. I’ve had OCD for 7 years and I don’t even know how it works. Any advice?
