Are you afraid that you might be eternally damned?
My own positions as well…Am I afraid of the radical possibility that I could reject God and therefore lose eternal salvation? Yes. Do I believe it will happen if I continue to strive to love and serve Him? No.
…one of my favorite:thumbsup:Yes…that 's why I try always to walk in His ways and to always have in my heart and on my lips…
O my God,
I am heartily sorry for
having offended Thee,
and I detest all my sins,
because I dread the loss of heaven,
and the pains of hell;
but most of all because
they offend Thee, my God,
Who are all good and
deserving of all my love.
I firmly resolve,
with the help of Thy grace,
to confess my sins,
to do penance,
and to amend my life.
Amen.
This is how I also feel. Keep on Keeping onAm I afraid of the radical possibility that I could reject God and therefore lose eternal salvation? Yes. Do I believe it will happen if I continue to strive to love and serve Him? No.
I agree this prayer is a really good one. With my weak human nature and how fast bad decisions can be made, I do fear going to hell and being eternally damned. Only by co-operating with the Lord’s grace can this be prevented from my limited understanding. Sometimes it can be way too easy to rationalize, compromise and fall.Yes…that 's why I try always to walk in His ways and to always have in my heart and on my lips…
