…whether the Holy Spirit has left you. Jesus says in Hebrews 13:8 that He will never leave us. And if Jesus stays with us, His Spirit will stay with us as well. But we must believe these truths by faith because there will be times we will not feel them to be true. Clinging to the promises of Scripture even when feelings are contrary is a critical stabilizing factor in life. You ask whether a person can sell his soul….

…and then invite Him into our lives. He will come to us. This is something we must accept by faith. There will be times when He will feel distant from us, but precisely at such times we need to exercise our faith and lean into Scripture where He says that He will never leave us or forsake us (Hebrews 13:5). If there is known sin, we need to confess and forsake it. As we keep close to Him He will…

…my parents out of my sight; I clung on them because I was afraid. For about 6-7 months I repeatedly confessed for these evil intrusive thoughts. I started doubting my salvation. I felt worthless and dirty. I thought that God would never want a filthy stupid teenage girl who had committed the worst sin. And I began believing those thoughts. I felt that God never cared about me. Finally, in desperation, I said the following words: “I blaspheme the devil.”…

…thieves and extortioners before they came to Christ (1 Corinthians 6:10).  Paul says to them that they have been washed, sanctified, and justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God (1 Corinthians 6:11).  Paul gives them many instructions on living the Christian life.  Paul gives them no instructions on restitution.  Nor do I. I hope this is helpful.  I encourage you to read the teachings of the gospels and the epistles for yourself…

…still be successful Christians? Tim’s Answer Thank you for your inquiry.  From what you have stated, you are blessed far above your friends.  The fact that God is convicting you of sin and disciplining you about your sin gives indication that you are His child (Hebrews 12:7-8).  Your friends provide evidence that they are not children of God.  It is never a good thing in our lives if we can sin and neither feel remorse nor suffer the disciplining hand…

…we think may have wronged us. But, as the children of God, we are called to live differently in this world, and to react to hatred with love, to meanness with kindness, to cursing with blessing, and to those who hurt us with prayer (Matthew 5:43-48). We grow in spirituality when we put on love, kindness, long suffering, grace, and forgiveness. Step 6 Sixth, do you keep short accounts with sin? Stated another way, when you sin do you immediately…

…writes in very strong terms in the book of Galatians about the danger of adding anything to faith in God. By turning to God in faith, we receive His salvation. Faith is what pleases God (Hebrews 11:6). But, though Scriptures strongly teach that faith is the path to God, they also teaches us that loving God is the first and great command (Matthew 22:37-38). In our pursuit of this command, we want to put away whatever distracts us from a…

…concerned about me. This is what Jesus taught in Matthew 6. And this is what faith in God means. We trust Him fully. We fall on His mercy. We live life in a way that pleases Him and leave our lives with Him. Of course, there is then the fourth conclusion. If I live life for others and for God, then I have not committed the unpardonable sin. There is not a single shred of Scriptural evidence that the unpardonable…
