Amy, Perhaps if God answered this particular prayer the way you want, you might become complacent in your faith. Maybe your current thinking keeps you humble, hungry and obedient. Just a thought.

My assurance comes from the word of God. He said He would never lose me or cast me out. If you look to your life to prove salvation you will never have it.

Lets pray for each other. I'm on the same boat as you, my friend. There is nothing more scary than the thought of being abandoned by God because of our sins. I'm praying for you, friend. God bless you and I hope and pray you find the answer you're looking for. Don't listen to the voice of satan. Listen to the Word of God. Facts over feelings. Feelings can lead us in so many directions and often fail us into falsehood. Focus on the truth of the gospel. Repent, apologise, and continue to do so. HAVE FAITH THAT CHRIST SAVES. YOU DON'T SAVE YOURSELF. CHRIST SAVES YOU!

The Fear of The Lord is the beginning of wisdom. If you two are truly concerned then do not worry but humble yourself before God. The desire to serve God and turn from your sins isn't a natural thing. The Word of God says no one can come to Jesus unless the Father draws them. Do this with the decision to really follow Him. Don't over think this, it isn't rocket science. A tree will be known by its fruit.

Yep, been there, because of some sinful life choices. Praise God that He brought me through. One of the main things that helped me was to search for Bible verses which told me who I am in Christ, underline them in my Bible, and read them out loud to myself. I did this every time I suffered those doubts, but if I'd known what I know now, I wouldn't have waited for the doubts to surface, but would have spoken Scripture over myself every day until I had victory. (And even beyond.) I'll give you a list of some of the references I used: John 5:24 John 6:37- 40, 44-45, 47, 51, 57 John 8:31-32 John 10:9, 14, 28-29 John 11:25-26 John 14:19b-20 John 17:3 John 20:30-31 Romans 3:21-22 Romans 5:1-2, 8, 11 Romans 8:35-39 2Corinthians 10:3-5 Galatians 3:13 Ephesians 2:4-9 Ephesians 6:10-11 1Peter 5:8 1John 2:1-2, 25-26 1John 4:9-10, 15-16 1John 5:1, 11, 13. I hope you find these helpful. There is nothing that can take the place of renewing the mind by saturating it with the Word of God! Don't forget, we have an adversary who is relentless in his war against our minds, because if he can get us to doubt, he can discourage us. Discouragement is deadly to our spirits, so use the Word to resist the devil and don't let him suck you in by his lies. God bless you!😊👍

@@liljs4189 Well said. I have seen Christians attacked by demons, often via false spirituality, and all of us, in our fleshly selves are subject to the worldly elements of which Satan, I suppose, is lord. For this reason, we need to abide in Christ, taking heart that He has "overcome the world." And the trials of our faith produce gold. Amen!

I find it helpful when I read Luke 17:3-4: "Pay attention to yourselves! If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him, and if he sins against you seven times in the day, and turns to you seven times, saying, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him.” I find it amazing that Jesus gives the scenario of a person who sins against us seven times in a single day. Jesus says nothing about questioning the genuineness of the repentance of the person. You would think, if you've sinned even THREE times saying 'I repent' to God or to a person, you would be questioning if you were really sorry for your sins in the first place and whether or not you are actually genuine about your repentance. Meanwhile, Jesus gives the scenario of the same person sinning against you (in one single day) SEVEN times! And instead of questioning the person's genuineness of his or her repentance, Jesus says that if the person sins against you that much, when they say 'I repent', you still have to forgive them, regardless of how many times, because that's what forgiveness is. Is there truly forgiveness when someone sins against you seven times and starts questioning the person, saying "You've done this seven times, are you actually sorry? Do you even care?" This just shows the limitlessness of God's forgiveness. If Jesus tells us to forgive someone that many times in a single day, how much more will God freely forgive us for the countless numbers of sins we have committed.

You only have to believe that Jesus died for your past present and future sins on the cross of Calvary.

I’m always in doubt I apologize but I’m not sure if I’m apologizing. There’s this resistance to change because (I know it sounds childish) but I’m scared. I’ve been hurt by a lot of people who I have my heart to that’s it’s hard to give my heart to God. Yet that statement in it of itself makes no sense cause I know that he would care for me. I know that he won’t treat me like the others. But I can’t get that wall DOWN 😞. It’s almost like I’m hurting God as a way to have that power that was taken from me from those who hurt me. If any brothers and sisters are reading this right now. Can you please pray for me and help me. This double mindedness, this hurt, it’s killing me and weighing me down. Thanks

It's not about our thousand & one sorries. It is a matter of our free will to truly repent and following God's principles of teaching. Also, what is extremely important is a follow up Bible study. Affirming the decision made. One for new believers.

If your sin grieves you you are changed by the grace of God. He grants repentance. If you never stop seeking God. You are His child. Focus on what Jesus did for us not what we did for Jesus.

Thank you.

So that we might test the will of God. Whatever is good, acceptable and perfect. Do the right thing, (10 commandments. The truth of the Gospel and the opposite of the 7 deadly sins), even when it hurts. Even when no one is watching. Above all have Faith. Acknowledge Him in all things and He will make straight your paths.

I didn't know that's what the unforgivable sin was... I thought it was just saying something bad about the Holy Spirit. I've been struggling with sexual sin for two years, and often it keeps me from knowing Christ to any real degree. I'm scared because now I don't know if I can be forgiven if the unforgivable sin is when your sin keeps you from Him. I also feel like sometimes when I'm struggling to resist temptations God gives me over to them. I don't want to think it though. I feel like at some point He might end my faith because of my sin😭😭😭 I'm just so scared😭

This only a part of chapter 8 but plz read it all and see for yourself: “For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[a] neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” This is so comforting to hear! Not a single thing in all of creation including ourselves can separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord and savior! If we could have saved ourselves Jesus would have never come, as it is we cannot save ourselves and after we have been saved we cannot be unsaved! It is God’s gift!

I feel like another way is too ask God to test you.

The bottom line of assurance is making a good repentance to God and He forgives you, gives you the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:38), and you have "joy unspeakable and full of glory, Receiving the end of your faith, the salvation of your souls." (1Pet 1:8-9) So what constitutes a good repentance? First, "godly sorrow" for sin (2Cor 7:10). Next is actually hating sin and what it has done to your life. At this point you are ready, in your heart, to repent of the person you are and desire to have a new life. So pray, asking God to forgive and save you! And when you do, He will forgive you and give you a heart that hates sin and loves God -- and that unspeakable joy will come to you with the Holy Spirit "witnessing with your spirit that you are a child of God." (Ro 8:16)

Remember only Jesus is perfect all other prophets and people of God have sinned so you are not alone, don’t doubt God’s love and forgiveness. The apostle Paul struggles with sin and he was an eye witness to Jesus Christ’s power. Sometimes God allows us to struggle with sin in order to reveal a message. See how strong sin is, you will not doubt the reality of sin. God is making you know that sin is real and you cannot fight it on your own. We must be humble and seek his grace and faith in him NEVER give up, no matter what. I’ve wrestled with God due to my stumbling and I confessed and said Lord I’m never leaving you and the power of the spirit strengthened my spirit and Christ made it known he never left me and he was faithful while I was not.

We weren't even born yet when christ died for us, so it blows my mind when people think only there past sins were forgiven and then they have to "live a good life" once they have been sealed with the holy spirit and are his child. In the new testament when Paul is giving his epistles, it is mainly to "already saved" people. And how we SHOULD live once we are saved. People in all of the churches do everything backwards. They do all they're works "to be saved", when that's completely wrong. You come to Christ completely filthy and covered in sin, letting the law do what was intended for it to do, which is make us realize we are all guilty of everything and dont deserve a single thing whatsoever. It is not of our works whatsoever, all what he did. That is why in Matthew 7:21-23, you have all the people gloating about their wonderful works. And jesus says I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. He doesn't say, oh I knew you and then you did some sin or something and now I don't know you, it's because they were never his children! They never actually believed! They thought jesus was a supplement to their salvation and it was all based on what they were doing. The ONLY repentence that is what saves, which repentence means to change your mind, is the repentence of actually believing on christ and what he did for all of us, having that full assurance of faith. Hope this helps, God bless:)

if anyone is seeking an answer to life I honestly reckon that God will steer that person, through circumstances, to the Truth.

what happens if i repent then do the unpardonable sin again and beg for forgiveness again. Will god forgive me?

Luke 12:49 I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled? 2 Thessalonians 1:8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: Revelation 20:9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.

Jesus made clear The unpardonable sin in Matthew. I believe we should be very careful not to give it in human interpretation. Secondly, I believe personally, that Esau sort back his birthright with his tears, not necessarily repentance. Why would Esau not receive Forgiveness if he was genuinely sorry for his sins? Just my thoughts

It was more like he didn't feel bad about his sins, but when he realized what he had lost because of them then he was terrified for his future. The love that fills us with the Holy Spirit gives us genuine remorse for our wrongdoings, knowing that our actions hurt God and his creation. Esau sinned without remorse until God gave up his salvation and then he deeply regretted his actions. The Holy spirit does not inflict regret, the spirit of fear does that.

If we were not sorry for the consequences of our sin, would any of us repent? I don't see how it's possible to repent without there being a selfish motive involved. Is the fear of Hell not a valid reason to repent? Are there not many promises in The Bible that, if you do X, you can expect Y, e.g., honor your mother and father and you'll have a long life, give and it will be returned in multiples? Did the prodigal son repent because his motive was pure and felt bad about the way he treated his dad or was there a selfish motive in play? It seems to me God is in tune with our selfish nature and it's a completely valid valid reason for repentance. But, once we've committed to repentance and doing God's will, our motives will/should become more pure as we grow in His grace.

I forgot who told this story or made this short story imagine you're with a friend and a few minutes later your friend punches you in the face and he says he's sorry you say okay I forgive you. A few seconds later he punches you again he says he's sorry again you're like okay I forgive you. Then the third time he punches you now you know that he isn't sorry. That's how I see what God thinks of us. Are we truly sorry about our sin or we just going to abuse God's grace

How do I know if my doubt is genuine?

We are sinner's saved by grace through faith. Repent in a nutshell means to turn from (willful) Sin. Wilful sin is knowing the Gospel of Christ and doing the opposite of what Christ commands. I.e. don't sleep with married women. But you do any ways. You know the commands of God and you do the opposite of what he has commanded . Christ said obey the commands from the Father that whos words lead eternal life. The commands are to repent from sin and believe in Christ. What does believing in Christ mean? It means you are condemned to hell because we all fall short if the Glory of God. To know he died for your sins. He is the way the truth and the life. He is the only way to the Father. God's grace is sufficient for us in our struggle with sin after truly believing and His mercy is far and wide. Truly believing in Christ as Lord is being born again.

He that cometh to me i will in no wise cast out. Repentance for salvation is a change of mind that causes a change of heart. Repentance toward God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Who comes to Christ? Those that realize that they need Jesus (Repentance) and because of this need they put theiir faith in Jesus and trust in his finishd work on the cross to save them. I thought I was all set then I saw myself as a sinner on his way to hell.( Genuine repentance) Then by faith I came to Christ. For with the heart man beleveth unto righteousness. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved. Notice it is only one thing. (Belief) If it was more than one thing it would be works. To him that worketh not but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly his faith (not works) is counted for righteousness. Now that I am saved God wants me to be a peculiar people Zelious of good works. Now my repentance is not unto salvation but a turning from the sins which the holy spirit convicts me of . If you dont seperate the two you will forever doubt your salvation. God made it easy we make it hard.

The way you can tell if your repentance is genuine is: BE GENUINE!! The way you can tell if your wasting people's time is to continue to waste people's time with your feelings about yourself!

I doubt my repentance after years of porn addiction. It's eroded my heart

I hope I’m not an Esau by this point

How can a man repent when he does not know his sins? Surely, his repentance is vanity. It is for this reason the Lord God sent me, His angel, in this last day to give His people understanding of His covenant and sins to repent for. Daniel 8:16 And I heard a man’s voice between the banks of the Ulai, who called, and said, “Gabriel, make this man understand the vision.” Afte king Saul disobeyed the commandments of God, the Spirit of God left him and distressing spirit from the Lord God entered into his heart. Since then iniquities such as pride, envy and murder were in his heart. He hunted David to kill. The process of entering iniquities in the heart of people in today's world is the same. Pride, envy, lust, adultery, idolatry, and lie are iniquites that came trespassing the Law of Moses. They stain your soul. If they do not leave your body, you cannot enter the Kingdom of God. Psalm 119 How can a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed according to Your word. With my whole heart I have sought You; Oh, let me not wander from Your commandments! Your word I have hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against You. The work of the Law of Moses is to help you recognize sins that the Lord God forbids you to do. Every commandment you trespass in the Law of Moses is called sin. The fruits of sin are iniquities. They blind your eyes, mind, and heart and your understanding will become perverse; You will call good evil and evil good. You will committ more sins without realizing it. Sins place you far from the Lord God and Lord Jesus. If you are the child of God, He will send calamities to you to cleanse, humble and help you repent. The words of God said only humble are saved by grace. If you are not His child, calamities will only destroy you for transgressing the Law of Moses. The work of the blood of Lord Jesus is to forgive you from sinning against the Law of the Holy Father and to wash you from iniquities. But if you continue to disobey the Law of Moses, iniquities will continue to flow into your heart. To stop iniquities from flowing into your heart, you need to come back into obeying the Law of Moses. Before the Lord Jesus revealed to me I am one of the children of Zion, I was also a Christian. I was taught that Christians are free from the Law of Moses. Lord Jesus taugth me it is a perverse teaching. Paul meant of free from the Law of Moses, you are no longer sinning against it. He also said without the Law of Moses, he would not know that covetousness is a sin "You shall not covet." Proverbs 28:4 Those who forsake the Law praise the wicked, But such as keep the Law contend with them. Isaiah 8:20 To the Law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, it is because there is no light in them. Romans 3:31 Do we then make void the Law through faith? Certainly not! On the contrary, we establish the Law. Romans 7:7 What shall we say then? Is the Law sin? Certainly not! On the contrary, I would not have known sin except through the Law. For I would not have known covetousness unless the Law had said, “You shall not covet.” The Law of Moses is the foundation of the ways, righteousness, holiness, and judgment of the Holy Father. It is the way of life in Heaven and for by them everlasting life in Heaven continue to flow forever. It is the way of life and the foundation of the teaching of Lord Jesus. You cannot abolish, disobey or neglect the teaching of it. It is the cause of all calamities to come and destroy lives for rejecting it. Jeremiah 6:19 Hear, O earth! Behold, I will certainly bring calamity on this people- The fruit of their thoughts, because they have not heeded My words Nor My Law, but rejected it. Jeremiah 9 Why does the land perish and burn up like a wilderness, so that no one can pass through? And the Lord said, “Because they have forsaken My Law which I set before them." Luke 16:31 But he said to him, ‘If they do not hear Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded though one rise from the dead.’ I hope in Christ that the Christians will wake up and obey His whole truth and not partial while there is still a time. Malachi 2 For the lips of a priest should keep knowledge, and people should seek the Law from his mouth; For he is the messenger of the Lord of hosts. But you have departed from the way; You have caused many to stumble at the Law. You have corrupted the covenant of Levi,” says the Lord of hosts. Therefore I also have made you contemptible and base before all the people, because you have not kept My ways but have shown partiality in the Law.

Go away wannabe angel what's wrong with you?

I don't feel repentance I don't comit the same sins because I want to live God but after until a certain point I didn't feel saved and now I do t feel saved I feel empty like I am a husk

We are ALL sinners that fall short of the glory of God. And we ALL are deserving of eternal punishment in hell because sin is so serious (it’s the cause of all pain, death, and suffering). And that’s why Jesus willingly died on the cross for all our sins and rose from the dead three days later! That we may have eternal life with Him if we repent (to change your mind about Jesus, that Jesus Christ is the Lord our God) and trust in Him (that He will save us ONLY because of what He did on the cross, we are saved by grace through faith)! And don’t wait because either because you do not know when you will die (just really think about that, you have NO CLUE when you will die! it’s could be tonight in your sleep or even in the NEXT HOUR!) That’s why God is calling you RIGHT NOW today to receive the gift of salvation!

perseverance is one of the fruits of the holy spirit so don't give up show Jesus there are some ripe fruits on your tree. Thats what I am doing and pulling up my carnal sin at the root.

I think I have committed the unforgivable sin

So many preacher here saying how to know your repentance is genuine. They make you doubt. If you've repented, you do not walk or live in that sin any longer. If you do, you have not repented, repentance means admit it and quit it.

The real answer is if your truly saved person if commit any kind of sin you regret it thats the reality...

It is impossible for anyone to repent unless they have established Gods laws and Commandments, you need to first understand what qualifies as sin in Gods eyes by scripture and then repent for what you know as sin from the Bible. And remember keep the Sabbath Holy, the Forth Commandment.

my Dr ruined my life by saying I was analytical it didn't help me.she was TOTALLY WRONG.I did that.I had it right dome do caisecpeople to doubt.its called bullying putting people through psychiatry.

For those curious in 2024, The unpardonable sin is not many possible sins, it is one sin, it says here in Matthew 12:31"31 Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men." attributing the works of Jesus Christ to the Devil as the Phoresies' and the Jews did. This is much deeper than just saying "god damn it" or something comparable to it, while that is blasphemy, that is not what the Jews committed in their hearts. They had said with their mouths and believed in their hearts that Jesus did his miracles by the power of the Devil. This is not a casual sin you commit idly. If you had done this why would you now be seeking Jesus? it's not our will that makes us wake up and go, "oh boy I need to find me some Jesus!" it is a work of the holy spirit in us. The writer of the pilgrims progress, John Bunyan wrote in his book, a deep fear that he had committed this sin, he struggled with it searched for it, God used that searching in his life all the while holding him right there in the palm of his hand.

If you’re concerned with having committed the unpardonable sin-you haven’t. Only those, like the Pharisees of Jesus day, who had repeatedly rejected who He truly was were able to ascribe the works of the Holy Spirit to Beelzebub (Satan). Only those who totally and completely reject Jesus as Lord and Savior can commit this sin. Also, we have it on the inerrancy of God’s Word that if we confess our sins He is faithful and will forgive us our sins. We have this on His authority not ours. Satan always endeavors to wrap us up around the axle with self recriminations about our salvation, forgiveness, you name it. Our repentance is God’s job not ours. Phil 2:12-13 emphasis on v:13.

How do you know your repentance is genuine? Ask yourself what gospel you believe in today. If it's still the true gospel, then you are saved. John Piper misuses the "test yourself" verse 2 Cor 13:5. In context the test is whether or not the believers believed in the gospel Paul preached. Read verse 3. They doubted Christ was speaking through him. 2 Cor 13:5 is not a moral test to see if you're in the faith. You are in the faith by believing the gospel. THE GOSPEL: God sent His Son Jesus to us as a man, born of a virgen by God's Holy Spirit, who never sinned. He lived perfectly and loved others perfectly. He was beaten and died on a cross for our sins (evil acts). He was raised to life 3 days later and if we believe in Him, He will make us perfect in the eyes of God. His righteousness (perfection) becomes ours and we are saved from Hell by His grace through faith. We can't work for it by making ourselves good. Only believing the gospel can save you from God's wrath (anger) against sin. If this gospel is not good news to you, then you are still in your sins and self-righteous.

Isn’t someone who has committed the unpardonable sin NOT even wondering and worrying they have done it?? Why would someone who has done it look to Jesus Christ? I say this because John Piper goes on here saying if someone who comes to him and asks him, he would answer: “Well, I don’t know if they have or not” Isn’t someone who ultimately has done this NOT look Jesus Christ and said no to him. And thus that is the ultimate sin to not be forgiven because then why would they come to Jesus Christ and be forgiven when they have basically turned from the ONE where to receive forgiveness. You know what I am trying to get at here?

That's definitely a possibility, and some I know would say "yeah, if you're worried you've committed the unforgiveable sin, that's evidence that you have a regenerate heart." And I think it's evidence, but not decisive evidence if that makes sense. But the fact that you can doubt your sincerity and doubt if you truly believe means that you doubt if coming to Jesus is actually coming to him. At the same time, you have places where Jesus says that whoever comes to Him He will never cast out. So in other words, it's NOT the sincerity or level of your faith. Its that you come to Jesus. But what does it mean to come to Jesus? Does it really just mean to call on Him and pray to Him? Maybe. I for one do not know the answer to that question. But I would definitely err on the side of saying that if you confess that Jesus is Lord, you will be saved. I would imagine that in a "fake" coming to Christ is obvious to the person praying that all of his repentance is false, not simply a wondering whether it is or not.

Confession is not repentance and repentance is not confession. You know you have repented if you have stopped the sin. If not you haven't repented. Someone said "admit it and quit it"

Work out your salvation worth fear and trembling.

the unforgivable sin is rejecting the gospel and jesus time after time again and never converting to Christianity in the first place

I thought Jesus already paid for our sins, howcome you have to read the Bible, get baptized and spread the Bible, works? Don't make sense?

Someone liked my comment from 3 weeks regarding this video, honestly, I had to come back and rewatch this video to see if I was correct in my analysis. The verdict is out run from this man's teachings seriously, keep running don't look back. This man is an actor and a horrible one at that sitting with two people as his audience as he sits and pretends to have any type of knowledge or regard whatsoever for our LORD JESUS CHRIST. You want to know about repentance listen to David Wilkerson or Charles Lawson they will give it to you straight. Admit you are a sinner humbly repent each of your sins even the little ones you think wouldn't matter ask JESUS to come and live in your heart ask the HOLY SPIRIT to write JESUS'S will on your heart stop doing the things that are sinful even the little things you think won't matter. Ask for forgiveness believe in what Jesus did for all of us and for you on the cross. Believe you are forgiven. Don't follow this man.

Can you point out how he was wrong though? I don't think he contradicts anything you just said. He's not talking about what repentance IS, he's talking really about how to have assurance, which is related but different.

How can have assurance, because you believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, that's your assurance that he gives you eternal life, mentioned nearly a 100 times in the book of John, don't listen to John Piper, he will tell you you can sin your way out of salvation, complete nonsense!!

Don't be silly. You praying that the Holy Spirit will testify with your spirit.....IS the Holy Spirit testifying with your spirit. This will probably be a subtle experience. Just don't try to make the experience be weird to make it be true.
