Bible Discussion Thread

I need your prayers to help me find my way back to Jesus. I am a true believer and pray often for His forgiveness, but for some reason, I still feel unworthy. I am a weak person who needs His help to live the way in which our Lord wants me to be. I pray to be a good Christian person. It has been a long time since I have read his word, and have recently started studying my Bible again. Pray that I might stay vigilant in my studies so that I may feel worthy once again of God's love and forgiveness. Thank you all for your Prayers.

MammySher, remember what it is that our Lord and Savior Jesus wants from us...a relationship. He is not expecting you to be "worthy" of having a relationship with him. He is wanting you to desire a relationship with Him, which it sounds like you do! I am pleased to hear your hope to keep growing in the Word and becoming more like Him each day. Keep going. Don't stop. Pray without ceasing and be thankful for all things. Eph 6:18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. ( Galatians 3:26)

And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. ( Mark 11:22)

Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. ( Mark 9:23)

But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible. ( Matthew 19:26)

Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. ( Hebrews 13:5)

I hope and pray these scriptures help your faith walk. It's not how we feel its according to our faith (believing and accepting God's word as it is written) and as we believe and accept God's plan of salvation by faith (not by works, Jesus paid that precious price for our salvation), then we can do the works of Christ Jesus and build up our most holy faith by believing, prayer, studying scripture, etc.

I used search words of faith, believe, and possible to find and share some scriptures. You might find searching the word promise to be encouraging, to read and believe all the promises that are for us in God's word. I am happy to hear about your desire to continue your walk with the Lord, stay encouraged and keep the faith in all areas of your life. Nothing is too hard for God, we can begin again. God never stopped loving and forgiving us, just accept it by faith and walk in it.

Dear Mammy, your problem is a lack of belief in the power of the Blood to forgive your sins. I endured the same guilt as a young Christian, and then later two verses struck that guilt out.

1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Titus 1:2 ...God cannot lie...

God has promised to forgive each and every one of our sins--and He CANNOT lie.

May I suggest you form the habit of daily devotions? James 4:8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you.
