Troubled by Sin and Self-Righteous Burdens

Hi Victor,

 

I believe I am on a wrong path. I disobeyed the Lord for 25 yrs in that time He wanted me to preach the gospel in Jamaica publicly. I feel like I have been cut of from Him because He told me not to have phone or oral sex with my wife and I did. Since doing so I have been having a lot of blasphemous thoughts and can’t seem to pray or read the word of God. I think about suicide a lot and most times I am sad. If you can talk my # is XXX-XXX-XXXX.

 

There is more to my situation I really need help….I don’t want to go to hell.

 

Gary

Hi Gary,

You needn’t worry about going to hell – you are already in hell. Hell is the absence of light and fellowship with God in the truth. With Him there is hope, but in hell there is no hope, which is what you describe in your letter.

You didn’t let the Lord down by not preaching the Gospel in Jamaica. He wasn’t putting that burden on you – you didn’t even know the true Gospel. You just violated your own religious conviction and conscience. You can forget about it. You’ve been walking in your own righteousness and power, not by faith. This too describes hell.

If you were walking by faith, you’d have repented of the phone and oral sex and you would have had the Lord’s forgiveness, not that there wouldn’t have been repercussions. Nevertheless, you would have peace on a renewed walk of faith and you wouldn’t be thinking of killing yourself (On the Question of Suicide).

You don’t need to talk to us right now, Gary. What you need is to read our site, starting with teachings such as:

Soak in the truth. You need to hear and believe the Word of God. In Him alone is hope, which comes with real repentance and faith.
