Lord,
I would like a change in my life. I would like a change in me. As I am writing You, I have to realize that I may not be truly born again. I have asked Jesus to come into my heart, but I am not sure even after nearly two decades, if I am a true Christian. How can I be a witness if I am not a true Christian? Right now, what if I have doubts about being born again due a doubt about my faith about the Crucifixion and the fact that You rose Him from the Jesus? Now, I have wondered if even though one is saved by faith. I thank You that You overcame the flesh, the enemy, and the world. Have I been saved by faith? I am scared that I will be hearing that You never knew me for I am not a true believer. I am a bit torn. Would only the so-called religious, saved or not, have these thoughts? I recall Jesus told the disciples about the Holy Spirit. I realize that true believers in Christ will have problems and will be persecuted. I cannot imagine living in a nation where I have virtually no right to live in some people's eyes because of my beliefs. I just have my doubts. If I have doubts for whatever reason, then how come is it sometimes I don't know all that You have tried to convict me? I ask for the assurance of my salvation, if that is even biblical. Have I been saved and truly grafted into the faith? Only You have the answer. I am asking for that answer. I have been anxious for a long time now whether it is about salvation or someone or something else. Anxiety is a serious issue that I have. How do I become saved? What must I do to be saved? I thank You for Your answer.
Sincerely,
Letters to God
