One who is a reprobate will never love God or truly desire forgiveness and repentance. They will never truly submit to Christ as their Lord. Remember that Jesus came to save sinners not the righteous.

The true question is: DO YOU REALY WANT GOD'S FORGIVENESS, more than you want to keep sinning?
(take a moment and think about)

If the answer is YES, you want to be saved MORE than sinning, then the answer is simple, if you trully do, and repent and ask God's forgiveness (sincerely for that is the only way) Know that God will make you a new creature and will help you there. Start to read the New Testament, it explains how to go about such things. For instance it tells us to stand and resist to the devil and guess what, IT WILL FLEE AWAY and fro experience, IT WORKS TOTALLY.

Give your life to Jesus, there are not sins unforgivable (except one-Holy Spirit) And God will forgive you and have faith, trust and put everything in His hands knowing He will take care of it... He will.

Each sin you commit knocks off so many points, when you run out of points you go to burn in hell forever. Just kidding, As long as you have repented your former sins they will not be held against you, that is the whole point of Christianity...forgiveness. Now if you continue to sin knowing it is wrong then you will be guilty of it. Damn temptation!

I can't find it but I know that Paul(Saul of Tarsish) struggled with this very thing the text says "The things I want to do I don't do the things that I don't want to do those are the things I do. He also calls himself the chief of sinners. But the real answer is the direction you head in not your past. Leave the past behind and run the race of faith. Keep going and never give up. Giving up is what Satan wants you to do. The fact that you are concerned is clue it it not to late.

Forgiveness is yours, if you truly want it. God loves you desperately, and He longs to hold you in His arms and give you peace, joy, healing, and comfort. He wants to fight your battles for you and meet all your needs. He paid a mighty price so that YOU could come home to heaven and live with Him for eternity in a beautiful place where there is no pain, sorrow, suffering, or tears.

Satan wants to keep you from going there. He will place temptations in your path and thoughts in your head to try to keep you from thinking about God. Take it to God. Give Him control of your life. Ask Him to protect you from Satan's temptations. Ask Him for forgiveness and believe that you have received it. He is longing to do just that.

No, you still obviously have a soft heart towards God.
The only unforgivable sin is to call good evil. All other sins can be forgiven.
Have you received the power since you believed? (Acts 1:8)

you havent repented and certainly havent accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, you have to pray to God for strenght, when you feel like sinning, kneel and pray some more and after that do something innocent that would distract you from it like watching cartoons from DISNEY or Nick or something, or listen to worship music, or anything good that has nothing to do with sin.

Remember to end your prayers with "in Jesus Name" because in order to get to the Father you must go through Jesus.

I think you might enjoy this scriptural reference if you have time to read it. As, it will take me some time to type :)

"But I was racked with eternal torment, for my soul was harrowed up to the greatest degree and racked with all my sins.

Yea, I did remember all my sins and iniquities which I was tormented with the pains of hell; yea, I saw that I had rebelled against my God, and that I had not kept his holy commandemnts.

Yea, and I had murdered many of his children, or rather led them away unto destruction; yea, and in fine so great had been my iniquities, that the very thought of coming into the presence of my God did rack my soul with inexpressible horror.

Oh, thought I, that I could be banished and become extinct both sould and body, that I might not be brought to stand in the presence of my God, to be judged of my deeds.

And now, for three days and for three nights was I racked, even with the pains of a damned soul. And it came to pass that as I was thus racked with torment, while I was harrowed up by the memory of my many sins, behold, I remembered also to have heard my father prophesy unto the people concerning the coming of on Jesus Christ, a Son of God, to atone for the sins of the world.

Now, as my mind caught hold upon this thought, I cried within my heart: o Jesus, thou Son of God, have mercy on me, who am in the gall of bitterness, and am encircled about by the everlasting chains of death.

And now, behold, when I thought this, I could remember my pains no more; yea, I was harrowed up by the momory of my sins no more.

And oh, what joy, and what marvelous light I did behold; yea, my soul was filled with joy as exceeding as was my pain!

Yea, I say unto you, my son, that there could be nothing so exquisite and so bitter as were my pains. Yea, and again I say unto you, my son, that on the other hand, there can be nothing so exquisite and sweet as was my joy."


This scripture goes on.... But the point is he remembered the atonement of God.... He repented and his joy was great. This too is offered to you through Jesus Christ. May God bless you with this miracle. This man is Alma the younger who tried to destroy the church of Christ of which his father was building, he later became a missionary and did great works.

PS You are just a sinner like every one else.

No indeed. That is the devil working on you and the closer you get to God, the harder the devil will work on you. He (the devil) can't stand to see anyone turn to God. That is why he works so hard on the Saved Christians. He doesn't have to work on the sinners..He already has them until they turn to and accept God, and then he really goes to work in earnest.
