Being a Christian man and saved by Christ's blood, I wake up daily and throughout my day I feel my flesh yearning. And I hate it. It makes me sick to my stomach. The thoughts that creep into my mind everyday; the desires of my flesh, makes me literally sick. But thanks for the sovereign love and grace from the Lord that His Holy Spirit speaks to me and tells me to pray to the Father when I feel so weak and unlovable. I know He loves me, but it's crazy to think that too. But God does, because He purchased me at a price; that price was His son Jesus. Amen.

I used to strive to obey God out of fear, but over the past year He has given my heart a deeper revelation of His love and forgiveness and security in Christ, which in a way makes it harder to obey, because now the motivation to obey is to love God in return, not out of fear of judgement. It’s tricky. Lord help me to love you as you have loved me….

I'm in sort of a weird place right now. I'll get just on fire for God and living the godly life and not wanting to sin anymore, but then I'll get to these moods where I'll sometimes think "since I'm saved, I can just sin whenever I want." Now, I don't like these worldly thoughts, but it's like my sensitivity towards them has decreased! Literally! I do want out of the sin, but I'll often make the choice to stay right in, and it's just getting ridiculous at this point. Its causing me to seriously doubt my salvation and it has to go.

Connor Connelly I get that, but in my day-to-day life it doesn’t mean I know what I’m supposed to be doing. For most of us, we also derive purpose and meaning from the work we do, whether that’s a job or being a stay at home mom. This takes up a huge chunk of one’s life. When it feels meaningless, your life will feel meaningless.

He did it 100% on our behalf and for us. He knew we could not bear it so he took the weight of the world on his back on the cross.

We see god as an infinite version of our self. So no matter how hard we try to imagine him loving us it ends up weird and impossible to believe. Reading scripture especially the parts that appear to be harsh and judgmental (all over the old and some in the new testaments) end up as absolute unacceptable pride and tyranny in our hearts even if we accept it to be righteous with out mind. only God can reveal himself to our hearts. Hope we while still on earth would understand the depth of his affection for us that led him to live in poverty and die the most terrifying shameful death because we watched dirty things and thought evil things and acted on it. He would have done it for just you alone. The devil mixed up love, lust and pride in our heart to make this terrible abomination that keeps us from knowing God. But God can change that. If we can see God for what he is. We would desire to suffer for him and greatly enjoy giving up every other dream of ours for him.

dorian lake lol. The entire scene of Jesus dieing on the cross was a sin. The soldiers were the sinners. why do you think Jesus said " Forgive them, for they know not what they do. " The point of the Gospel is that Jesus was the sinless man. He was the ultimate sacrifice. So yes, nailing Jesus to the cross was a sin. But if we are looking at it from a biblical perspective, Jesus was the atonement. Your comment is a paradox; willfull ignorance on the topic. Simply Google your answer, it'll be answered with doctrine. Lol. He who has been forgiven little loves little mayne.

" not " Forgive them, for they believe in me. " that's hilarious.

Evil exists because we chose to do evil, not saying Satan does not exist but because God gave us freewill. God all powerful limited His will and gave us limited freewill. You see, God is true love He won't force you to love Him back otherwise that wouldn't be called love. Is like when you have a child, that child has the same DNA as you but does that mean that he/she will automatically love you, or would you force his/her to love you back? We all have a choice to make. Oh and by the way hitler embreaced evolution.

God's Self-exaltation and presentation is loving because he is love. By exalting and presenting himself he is exalting and presenting love. Good things reveal his glory, his worth because he is the only one who is good. If he were to withhold his glory or abstain from being glorified he would have to abstain from doing good, which is against his nature. It is the nature of God to be glorified just as it is the nature of light to shine, and the nature of love to be given.

I am unsure of my salvation because I do not seem to delight in God or feel any love for Him. I obey Him out of obligation and fear of Hell, rather than obeying out of love. So what do I do now? How do I make myself feel the emotions that are necessary for salvation? Since I am asking God to give me those emotions and I am still not feeling them, does that mean that I am not one of the elect? John Piper often speaks of how delighting in God and treasuring Him above all else is necessary in order to go to Heaven, but what should one do if they do not delight in Him or treasure Him? I'm beginning to lose hope and I think I may be a lost cause.
@johncrawford2248
@johncrawford2248 5 жыл бұрын
I don't believe this necessarily means you are not one of the elect. Just the mere fact that you have a desire to know God is a really good sign. Jesus said, "All those the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away." John 6:37. However, I do believe that there is definitely a specific point when everyone gets saved. For me, it was when I was 13 and raised my hand to accept Jesus. Upon doing this the most powerful feelings of love, joy, and happiness overwhelmed me. It brought me to the point of tears. Not everyone has to have the same powerful experience to be considered saved, but scripture supports the idea that there is a certain point where your life changes and you cross out of darkness into light. I have not been perfect since then but I'm strongly convicted that my life has been set on an entirely different course. Look back on your life and see if there was a specific time when a life change occurred. If not, it could be possible that you are not currently saved. I however am not the judge so I can make no determination on this. It is a serious question which answer should be sought after by prayer and continued searching of the scriptures. If you do find that this hasn't happened and you feel you are not saved, this by no means you can't be saved. Simply keep praying, keep seeking, and God will be faithful to save you. God will work out change in your life and give you the desires you long for, just keep seeking and trust in him. I really hope this helped. Everything I say is out of love and a desire to help. Jesus loves you! God bless!

Always have loved John's teachings. But he said if all you have is a mere decision for Christ and no the liking Christ and you don't have christ, that's not true. Cuz there are moments when a person doesn't have the light in Christ and that's why he's preaching right now because the title is when I don't desire God it comes from the root of a person that should be desiring god. And I'm not talking about easy beliefism or accepting or signing a card, I'm talking about a repentance of heart that says Christ is all he's my only hope and without him not only do I die but I can't even breathe, knowing that isn't salvation but that being the decision that you've made about Christ that was given to you that was given to you and that and it only grows

I love his charisma and his delivery. He’s definitely good at it. I used to listen to him until the Spirit led me to look deeper. But brothers and sisters look deeper. He is a Calvinist. Being such he believes that God predestined from before time the ones who would be saved called “the elect”. The rest He predestined to hell and eternal torment. The predestined are predestined from conception to go to hell or heaven. No grace for babies thief very rules of belief will not allow it. Predestined is from conception which means babies that die or are aborted that are off the “non elect” go to hell and are in torment. They deny the words of Christ out of his own mouth “For God so loved the WORLD thar He gave His only begotten Son so that WHOSOEVER believes on Him will have everlasting life”. Calvinist believe He only died for “the elect” not the world as he says. They also believe God hates because ususuing just one verse out of context to meaning “Jacob I loved, Esau I hated”. They can not say God loves you or God is Love in an evangelical way because God may not. You maybe the one predestined to hell whom He hates. Why evangelize the elect have already been chosen and the non elect are damned and can not change that. They believe God Condemns the non elect to eternal torment in order to show His Glory. Brothers, Sisters use discernment with these people. Let the Holy Spirit tell you of the mighty, marvelous, beautiful love of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. My God is a God of love. He says in his word He wishes no one to Parrish. Jesus died for all. He truly Loves us like we can never even grasp with our human minds. Go and spread the love of Christ to all.

If Jesus died for all, no one would be in hell... He died for all those who BELIEVE the Gospel of Jesus. And those who believe will love. And those who love will obey Him.

Why God does everything that He does? Jonathan Edwards said in his book The end for which God created the world: So if God both esteem and deliht in His own perfections and virtues, He cannot but value and delight in the expressions and genuine effects of them. So that in delighting in the expressions of His perfections, He manifests a delight in Himself; and in making these expressions of His own perfections His end, He makes Himself His end. I think Jonathan Edwards explain when God says: FOR MY NAME'S SAKE.

So has he experienced this Joy he preaches of while he was poor and sick. If not , then how can he really preach this. If he has , then he should add that to his sermon. If he hasn't , then he is preaching what he heard and read. Thank you..

God intends for us to see his excellence by contrasting it with how fallen the world and ourselves are. Love isn’t possible without choice. He intends for us to be fallen so we can fully understand Y forgiveness and grace is good. If we expect God to love us, isn’t it right that we should love others, even the ones we consider undeserving?

That's one of the reason GOD SAID WALK IN THE SPIRIT SO YOUR WANT FULFILL THE LUST OF THE FLESH,the devil has access to the fallen nature of man and that one day will be destroyed and we will be given new bodies ( heavenly) until then read your Bible any how,resist temptation any how, don't fulfill the lust of the flesh,love is a commitment not a feeling.

We are ALL sinners that fall short of the glory of God. And we ALL are deserving of eternal punishment in hell because sin is so serious (sin is evil and it is the cause of all pain, death, and suffering). And that’s why Jesus suffered soooo much for us, and that’s why He died on the cross for ALL our sins (past, present, AND future sins) and rose from the dead 3 days later! Jesus did all this because He loves us sooooo much, you can’t even fully comprehend it! And you may have eternal life with Him if you repent (to change your mind about Jesus, to believe that Jesus Christ is the Lord our God) and have faith in Him, then you will be saved! (Let’s make it clear that being a good person WILL NOT get you into Heaven! You can only be saved by the grace God will show you, if you repent and have faith in Jesus and in what Jesus did for us on the cross and that He rose from the dead 3 days after He died for us! ONLY THEN, will you will be saved)! And do not wait because you do not know when you will die (sit and think deeply about that. You have NO CLUE when you will die! Today could be your last day, tonight could be your last night. You can die in your sleep or even in the next hour!) I want you to realize how urgent and important it is to have Jesus! But if you have Jesus, you will NEVER have to worry! You won’t have to worry about school, family problems, life, or EVEN DEATH because you will have the LORD your GOD, RIGHT BY YOUR SIDE, EVERY SINGLE DAY, EVERY SINGLE HOUR, EVER SINGLE MINUTE and EVERY SINGLE SECOND of your life! GOD can help you through ANY challenge, through ANY hardship, and through ANY depressing time in your life! GOD WILL NEVER leave you, GOD WILL NEVER forget about you, GOD WILL NEVER betray you, GOD WILL NEVER forsake you, and GOD WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU!!! And that is why GOD is calling you RIGHT NOW to be saved!

Why come here if you don't believe in God? That shows so much bitterness on your part and I can definitely see that fruit. If you think we are so wrong and crazy, then let us be. Some of us have tasted that God is true and good. And that trueness and goodness is not coincidental, believe me. The world today saddens me. Geez.

It's so interesting, I have realized when listening to Piper and Jordan Peterson, people often laugh at things that they say that are not meant to be the least bit comical...I think because what they say are just super uncomfortable truths and people do not know how to react to it....
