Entertainment Faith and Religion God feeling is God done with me salvation saved qna bibleline gospel grace

Our Listener asks, “Hi Pastor Jesse, first off just want to say
thank you for your ministry and for always
delivering the Clear and Simple Gospel. I’m
writing this because I struggle with Resting
in the Truth. I know that Jesus Christ is my
Lord and my One and Only Savior. That I’m Saved by His Grace and Mercy
through Faith in Jesus’ Death, Burial, and
Resurrection. It’s what He has finished for
me, not what I can do for Him. I know the
truth, I understand the truth, and I believe
the truth. I just struggle to Rest in the truth. Some days I have Rest and Confidence, and
some days I don’t. I know that I’m Saved,
and that whether my day is great or terrible
it’s only by Grace and salvation. It’s
contingent on Him, not me. I struggle with OCD, mainly scrupulosity,
and it’s more so obsessive thinking, not
really too many compulsions although
there are some. It’s been a long mental
journey for the past 4 years, and God has
been Faithful all my days as He always will
be. He’s brought me over so many hurdles,
and though there is still more ahead of me,
I trust in Him. OCD is nicknamed “the
doubting disorder,” and there are times the
thoughts get so strong and so persistent
that it feels like He’s done with me. I know that He isn’t because He cannot
deny Himself, and Greater is He that is in me
than the one in the world. I was just hoping
maybe for some advice or tips that could
help bring some ease. I know God wants His
children to Know we belong to Him. Sorry
this was long; thanks for all you do.”
