Kiwi, in Gods eyes you can not be a sinner and be considered good. They are mutually exclusive. Gods standards are so high that a person who has sinned can not be considered a "good person".

Can we do things that are good???? Yes, of course........ but in Gods eyes they simply can't count because the sin blots out the goodness.

..... I just dont feel bad for anything I've done. I just want to really accept that I'm a bad person so I can accept Christ and settle it b/c I've accepted him before, but I didnt' really admit my sin debt to God and that I deserve hell. You have to admit you're a sinner before you accept Christ, so someone please help me....

There Is A Way

Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee. Psalms 119:11

You See

The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. Psalms 23:1

Pray

Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. Psalms 139:23-24

In Jesus' Name

Be Blessed Beloved

I don't think you need to be feeling guilty to understand it. What it really comes down to is that it is God who saves us whether you feel bad or not. Everyone comes to him in different ways and just because a lot of peole realise their need for a saviour first doesn't mean you will. He reveals things in his own time and whether you understand it or not doesn't change the fact that Jesus died to reconcile us to God. Forget about needing to feel guilty, if you accept Jesus you have been made right with God and he will do the transforming.

I've talked to you guys about this stuff before and other stuff, but sometimes I'll just get to thinking and so many questions and problems will fill my mind. here's one....

Ok so idk if I'm saved. I know that Jesus died for everyone on the cross so we could go to heaven. I also understand that we are all sinners. I just don't feel like a bad person though. I'll admit that Ive sinned but I'm not a bad person. I don't deserve heaven but I dont understand how I deserve hell. I'm scared though b/c I dont want to go to hell and I want to accept Jesus and make sure I'm saved but first I must realize I'm a sinner and Idk if I've done that b/c I know I've sinned but I don't think I'm a bad person. Can someone help me. I know about the verses about 'theres' none righteous' and 'if you break one of the commandments you're guilty of all' but idk I just dont feel bad for anything I've done. I just want to really accept that I'm a bad person so I can accept Christ and settle it b/c I've accepted him before, but I didnt' really admit my sin debt to God and that I deserve hell. You have to admit you're a sinner before you accept Christ, so someone please help me

you are on the right track. you're seeking. none of us want to think we're a bad person; but when you sincerely start to ask yourself what would God think about all your motives and intentions, God will tell you. if you intentionally decide to be God's person, to love God with all your heart, mind and soul, and to love your neighbor as yourself, well, God will start to help you do that. God deals with us all individually.

Do you believe in God? I mean really believe? Do you know deep down in your heart that God exists?

Think about that......................and be honest with yourself.

I believe so but I mean I have my moments of doubt. Like this morning I was thinking why would God send someone to hell for ever and EVER b/c they didn't believe in him, but then it kinda scared me b/c that's what atheists think and say and I dont want to be an atheist. I know God exists though b/c when I look around at creation I know this didn't just happen by chance. I just don't understand why God sends people to hell. I know he is loving AND just, but I just cant comprehend it. I get that sin has to be punished, but in HELL? It sounds so harsh. And I know I don't have to feel guilty about my sins, but I guess I just really want to realize how bad I am, like through God's eyes so I can really see my need for a savior. I'm so tired of this. I also get scared and think what's if I die or Jesus comes back before I figure all of this out!?

I have asked you this before.

Do you attend a church?

Do you fellowship with mature believers?

I agree with Nebula, there is something missing here and you are not going to find it by going around in circles on Worthy.

You need some face to face time with someone who can talk to you and get to the bottom of the problem.

I can tell you that Jesus loves you, and that you live under grace until I am blue in the face, but you need to talk to someone.

Blessings

I go to church, and I've talked to people about my doubts if I was saved or not but not about the other things that I don't understand. I'd feel embarassed, which I know I shouldn't but the only people I'd feel safe to talk to are the ones I talked to about my doubts with and idk It'd just be awkward..I guess? idk the word to use

Salvation doesn't depend on knowing why God chose hell as the punishment for sinners.

backwards thinking is really common... but ya see, God didn't choose hell as a punishment for sinners. He chose heaven as a reward for anyone who wanted to accept it.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
