I sometimes for the same. But just remember, God is loving and understands our problems. Pray that your problems will go away, someday they will. It has happened to me. I still do things that are against God and I know I shouldn't. It's hard, but you can do it. ❤️
Thanks, I hope we all can get through this. God bless you
I’m in the same spot right now. I had a good relationship with God throughout the summer and now it’s just ruined because of me. Idk if you Christian or not, but I’m Christianity we believe that we (followers of God) can’t overcome sin by ourselves. We can’t win, but Jesus can. All things are possible with God. Everything. All Christians just have to do is believe in Christ and trust him that he will set us free. It’s all very beautiful, I just wish I was a better Christian.
This is what I dont understand. We cant win by ourselves, but with Jesus we can, but what should we do when we are suffering temptation, just hold on and try not to sin? Thanks for the reply, God bless you
@Hoping for the best “Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.” Matthew 26:41 So basically when you are feeling tempted get into the presence of God, or just welcome God into your room. Or you can open your Bible and read, listen to worship music. And remember to pray pray pray! I really recommend fasting because it really makes your spirit stronger. It’s not easy, especially in the moment.
@Hoping for the best And please don’t be too hard on yourself if you fall. We are not perfect and never will be. God doesn’t expect perfection from us. What matters if you try your best.
@sillybilly Thanks, I will follow this. I hope things get better soon.
I think the fact that you are feeling like you will never measure up demonstrates that you care about honoring God. OCD attacks the things we care about - I understand this to a degree because I struggle with scrupulosity. Christianity is different because there’s no “+” for salvation - it’s just Jesus....admitting you’re a sinner and that He is Lord and that without Him you are hopeless. Good works are fruit that you bear...a demonstration of Christ’s work in you and the Holy Spirit working in you and through you. But, don’t listen to Satan and the OCD...you can’t ever earn your salvation and it’s evident that you desire to serve God. He knows your heart and if you’ve accepted Him as your Savior and Lord, you’re reconciled with the Father because of the death of Jesus on the cross. Don’t let OCD lie to you.
Thanks for your reply, I want to become a better person everyday and be with God. I hope things get better
CHRISTIAN PEOPLE/RELIGIOUS AND CONTAMINATION OCD HELP ME!!!!! I think I am losing my mind right now. I was not caring about coronavirus until today, now on Brazil things are gettings crazy as well and I dont know how to cope now. My mother as well started to talk its sign of the end of days and coming of Jesus. Thing is I am obsessing with this, I want to be saved, I want to go to heaven, I believe in Jesus as my own savior, but I am losing my mind. I am also doubting my salvation. Please someone tell me what I need to do to be saved, Ive regreted and repented for my sins, I want to feel happy again. I also super worried about this damm virus and about my family, I really dont know what to do ????
I love the fact God is a loving God. But I also hate the fact that because of that it means that everything I do is my fault, like going to hell. I am going in spirals reading things to see how to believe or how to be saved, called out to Jesus. Scared that I will never produce fruit of the Spirit (Event hoguh Jesus does it in our lives) and that God hasn't written my name in the book of life... I want new desires but I have none, I get very scared of the book of James in the bible or lukewarm in Revelation. Matter of fact I don't even know how to repent, my heart isn't right and I just wish that I had the gifts of the Holy Spirit...
This question is from a religious perspective. I know we have to be good, but we cant be all good, we have to stop sin, but we cant stop sinning fully and we are saved either way, cause its not our actions that sends us to heaven, its God's grace. So anyone who accepted Christ as their saviour its saved, he can still sin, he can still be a bad person, unkind with people, have sex before marriage, do bad things, he is still saved. This makes me angry cause i try everytime to eb a better person and sometimes i just get tired cause i get alot of temptation and i fight to not act on it and be kind person but then i get tired of it cause of many things, and i see people that accept Jesus but they still live an earthly life and enjoy their life better than I do, and they will be in heaven too. Im not saying thes shouldnt, im just talking about whats the point of all of this? If i try to be a better person i get hit by how sinful i am,i feel guilt and i want to avoid being sinful but it doesnt work, and i feel guilt repenting, and there are others who just live their life like others. I have really bad sexual temptations, i dont know if i will be able to not have sex with my girlfriend(when i will have one) im always thinking that i will fight somehow, but there are other christian who doesnt wait till marriage and nothing bad happens, they feel a little bad but they still do it, they are happy, and i will be there struggling to not sin, and maybe it will even do bad for the relationship... What's the point? I struggle with this alot, if im saved why do i have to fight so hard to not sin if im unable to be fully sinful but im still saved? It's like we know its bad to steal food from a store but they would say " you wont get fined or penalty for that but pls dont do it" you will say okay but what happens if youre starving and you dont have money? You dont get any penalty, of course you will steal instead of dying by starvation, and then you live freely... they still welcome you to the store. I know this shows how God really loves us and its beautiful, but then why try to be soo good, why try to be like Jesus if we can never be like that... and as i said many "sins" doesnt seem like its really hurted someone, like i know christian people who had sex before marriage and they still live happily. Or i heard people saying they dont feel bad or guilt having sex with random girls and they are christians... Im struggling with having thoughts that many things i do is a sin and i want to think its okay Jesus saved me, but i feel like a bad person, that i use Jesus pain to just sin...
