Backslider fears they're not saved nor to be saved
Q:I’m starting to worry that I’m not one of the people God has called. I DO want to restore our relationship after backsliding and i am trying to restore it but it’s like I can’t feel conviction anymore. I have fasted a couple times. It’s like I feel like my heart isn’t fully devoted to Him and it worries me. I’m starting to read His Word again and talk to Him more but I struggle so bad. I know it says to walk by faith not by sight but it’s hard because it scares me. Only God truly knows if I’m saved. I know that some Christians won’t make it to heaven. What if I’m one of them? It’s like I’m trying to hear His voice, I’ve called out to Him to speak to me but it’s hard for me to hear Him. I have even asked for Discernment and Wisdom. I feel like I’m failing Him because of it all. I don’t want to fail Him.
A: Have you obeyed and embraced the Gospel? We are saved when we get right with God. So just do that, and you will be right with God.
If you have but are not sure if you are saved, go through this l.
Is the concern over not having sin conviction? This has helps.
As far as getting closer to God this can help.
The fact that you have concerns about it shows you are being called by the Holy Spirit to salvation or are saved. Those who love their sins have no care about sins. They may have morals and live idolatrously as a false believer, but the issues of sin dont trouble them. So take heart. Do an examination and go from there.
It's not that some Christians won't make it, it's that false converts, church pretenders won't make it. If they follow idolatry and false religion (including cultists), they're not folk who were ever saved before they died. They didn't obey the Gospel of Christ as laid out in Scripture. Gid never converted them. Thus Jesus doesn't "know" them, for he didn't die for "them". He redeemed those whose names are in the Lambs book of Life, written before the world began.
Hope that helps relieve your anxiety and gives you peace. 😊✝️✨️
God bless
