"But their minds were hardened. For to this day, when they read the old covenant, that same veil remains unlifted, because only through Christ is it taken away." - 2 Corinthians 3:14
Amen!! All glory to our Lord! I praise Him for regenerating your heart, Hunter, and even using you prior to your conversion, to help lead others to Christ. You are such a blessing and I'm so thankful He has brought you to Himself and has graced you with the accompanying assurance. We have such a merciful and gracious God! He is so faithful and mighty! He raises the dead to life!
Sure! It is sort of a vague question, so the answer will sound generalized, but I am plunking along in the faith! I am part of a biblical local church, I study my Bible as much as I can and write about it here, I catechize my children during the school year. Just looking forward to the new heavens and the new earth with Christ!
I am glad to be more specific if there is anything more personal you’d like to know. :)
Thats great:) Im on a sort of similar journey. After a journey similar to the beginning of yours, I was afraid about 6 years ago that I had blasphemed the Holy Spirit. That led to deep dread and anxiety. I was able to shove it to the back of my mind but in that lead to hardening my heart in a lot of ways. I am looking for hope for my heart to be revived, renewed and softened. Your story was helpful. Have you ever feared that?
I understand! And I am so glad this was helpful. I never had that specific fear, but I am sure the caliber of dread and anxiety you had was comparable to my own. Have you studied the unforgivable sin? I am sure you have and I am sure by now you have concluded it does not relate to you! Still it is hard to shake that kind of “trauma,” if you will. I still have to be very careful about certain things so as not to trigger that same dread again.
Yes I have extensively and still feel a bit confused. Yeah im having to not think about it if I want relief but also don’t want to pretend I am saved if I’m not. So it’s been hard. I appreciate your feedback!
You are tender to the subject; take heart in that! All that you need to do is stop measuring yourself and measure the sufficiency of Christ any time you are tempted to do the former.
I am active on my Instagram if you ever want to send a DM and talk more. <3
I am going through this now an I am in tears as I write this. I hope that you will see this and pray for me. I am terrified. I have repented and I am completely broken by my sin. I have been in a roller coaster the last month with condemnation and accusations from Satan that are overwhelming. I believe that the Holy Spirit brought me to repentance..which I prayed for wisdom. Please pray for me and if you see this.
Thank you for sharing your testimony 🙏🏼 does your church have an online service? I would love to watch. I feel like I’m still trying to understand what the gospel really means to me everyday.
