“I wonder if I have true faith!”

March 15, 2024

I wonder if I have true faith and if I’m really saved. I struggle so much with sin, so I doubt my salvation. How can you tell if you are in the faith? What about those to whom Jesus will say, “Depart from Me“? What is “the obedience of faith” that we see in Romans 1?

Why did Jesus breathe on the disciples? Does this mean there are two portions of the Holy Spirit that we can expect today? Do we see conditional forgiveness in the Old Testament law?

What does it mean to be “imitators of God”? Ephesians 5 not only ventures deep into this question but also demystifies the idea of living authentically, as opposed to putting on an act. Imagine being sinful at the core and then being asked by God to embrace holy living. Here’s a revelation: You’re not inherently flawed, striving to mask your true self with goodness. Instead, at your very core, you contain the light of Jesus, and now, God’s call is for you to walk as a child of the Light. I invite you to delve into this message as it will challenge your perspective on living a life that vividly manifests the light of Christ. Watch now and discover the essence of authentic living from the heart. Discussion Questions for Ephesians 5:1-18: 1. What does it mean to be an “imitator of God”? How is this not faking it? 2. Read verses 2-4. What are the two motivations here for upright living? 3. Read verses 5-8 and react to this summary: “You’re no longer them, so don’t act like them.” 4. Read verses 9-10. What does “the fruit of the Light” mean? What is pleasing to the Lord? 5. React to this statement: Sin is disgraceful, unwise, and doesn’t make the most of your time. 6. Read verse 17. What is “the will of the Lord”? Can we know it? 7. Read verse 18. What does it mean to be “filled with the Spirit”? How does Ephesians 3:19 help us here?

How can I know if I’m chosen by God? I don’t have many friendships and wonder if it’s my fault? What should I do? Why did Jesus oh seem to hesitate but then miraculously make wine for the Cana wedding? Does the Holy Spirit help us keep the Law? Does He help us keep the Sermon on the Mount? I struggle with judging other people. How can I think differently? What is God’s will? How can I process past regrets in a healthy way? Are we close to the sixth trumpet?

What is the soul? Is it the real me? Is it important to believe we have three parts (spirit, soul, and body) instead of just two? I’ve asked God for forgiveness over and over, but I still don’t feel forgiven. What can I do? Doesn’t the Lord’s Prayer say we’re supposed to ask Him to forgive us? My sister is Mormon, and I’m worried she’s missing her blessing due to false teaching. How can I share truth with her?
