Do you have a good relationship with Him,
Are you reading and praying daily,
Are you seeking to become more like Him Daily?
..or have you backslidden and are trying to serve two masters?
You can loose your salvation you know?

1. A 'relationship' is a two-way street, or it's not a relationship. Does God have a 'relationship' with you? Is it a 'good' one?
2. Praying is pointless. Either God knows what is in your heart, or he doesn't. If he does, why are you bothering talking at him? If he doesn't, how could he be God?
3. Humans cannot seek to become like gods. We are mortal. Anyone who imagines that he or she can be like God is deluded and guilty of the thing called 'hubris'.
4. If there is a 'master' there is a 'slave'. I believe in neither, and the fact that you do is unfortunate.
5.You can't 'loose' anything. 'Loose' is an adjective, not a verb.

it really is sturdy to hearken to that you're a Bible reader. So i'm positive you're conscious of David's sins. David knew how heavy the burden of a to blame wakeful will be. yet he discovered convenience from his bothered heart. He understood that at the same time as God hates sin, he does no longer hate the sinner if that one is extremely repentant and rejects his sinful direction. With finished faith in God's willingness to advance mercy to repentant ones, David suggested in accordance to Psalms 86:5 " You, O Jehovah, are sturdy and in a position to forgive." when we sin, we would carry the crushing burden of a pained wakeful. this sense of regret is healthful. it may flow us to take useful steps to brilliant our blunders. once you've a minute evaluate those scriptures at Psalms 32:5, Psalms 103:12, Hebrews 10:26, Acts 3:19 , Jeremiah 31:34, Galatians 6:7, James a million:13, a million John a million:9. So with those scriptures in recommendations, undergo in recommendations that Jehovah God does no longer hate the sinner if that one is extremely repentant and rejects or turns faraway from his sinful direction.

That is a really debatable subject...
Personally, I don't believe "losing your salvation" can be supported by scripture. But keeping it sure can.
39And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
Jesus said, he has not lost any who God has called to him.
That God has called us, to follow him, before the world began
30Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
If we do sin, or go astray then there is a remedy for that in Christ:
My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:

I commend you for your very direct and awakening question. You are doing your job as one of God's children.
I'll answer as honestly as I can.
1. I'm trying
2. I'm trying
3. I'm trying
4. I 'm not sure but I only want to serve God.I've read in the Bible that we are not to serve two masters and He would rather we be hot or cold not lukewarm .Most of the time I get caught up in trying to solve my own problems when I should turn to Him. Thank you!

I have been a Christian for over 37 years now.
I read His Word and keep in an attitude of prayer throughout the day. I am being changed from glory to glory, but this is not of myself - it is God's grace on my life.
It is wonderful to know the Lord

I am in constant contact and relation to God...it can not be otherwise.
I read a few times a week...meditate daily.
Not seeking...just allowing myself to become like God more through deeper understanding and realization.
There is nothing for me to loose...or gain...anymore.

Matthew 10:38 - And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.
Romans 8:18 - For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
