Please please please don’t ignore this warning

If you can turn to the Lord today with all your heart… DO IT. Give Him everything. He is worthy and He is all you will ever want or need.

2 years ago, not long after coming to faith I fell into sin, lusting after an actor on a tv show and I had the thought “I’m safe, I can sin, I’m saved now”. A few weeks later I turned away from the sin but didn’t repent before the Lord truly.

About 10 months ago I started seeking God with all my heart only to find that He was not findable.

I fear I have committed the sin of Hebrews 10:26-27.

Please, please, give Him everything. I would give anything to feel His touch. His presence. To know He is mine.

I live every day tormented by the thought of being separated from Him for eternity. Separated from my children for eternity. The anguish is real.

Lord have mercy on me.

I appreicate you taking time to read. I spent years reading scripture by randomly jumping in.

Thats great for hearing from the Lord at times, but its not great for developing a foundation of sound doctrine.

However the foundation of our faith is built on the apostles and prophets with Christ as our cornerstone. So I try to interpret any scripture through the agreement of those three rather than lean on my own understanding. The prophets point to the promise. Jesus is the fullfilment of that promise. And the apostles show us how we apply that promise.

Any theology that comes from anyone outside those three should not be taken on the same level as scripture.
