@ Eddie: This …

Although God had not left you but you have left him and unless you repent for your mistakes (sins) you can have no personnal relationship with him.

… is wrong.

You can have a personal relationships with him no matter what because He has already forgiven you of all your sins, past present and future.

Love,
Caleb

the bible says that sin seperates us from God. When you accept Jesus and baptize you are a new creature in him. As a christian if you are not reading the word daily and not assembly yourselves with other christians and praying daily you can easily fall back to your old ways. Although God had not left you but you have left him and unless you repent for your mistakes (sins) you can have no personnal relationship with him. The bible says it is like a dog turning back to it’s on vomit, when he has accept your forgiveness and then you say you are going to serve him and his will, then you do for a little while and then you fall away to doing the same things you use to do and more. That is called backsliding. But where God has not left you means that you can repent and then do your first works over and learned from your mistakes. Otherwise if you die in your sins you cannot go to Heaven. Because as a christian or a sinner, a sin is a sin you do the wrong. God Bless……

Thank you so much brother. This post made me cry :’(. The part about being one in Spirit with God and that He loves me too much to give up on me really touched my heart. Thank you I needed to hear this right now

Joel,

Nice to see you comment!

Perception VS reality. Man what a discussion that is all by itself!

You can’t leave Him. As Caleb said, that’s a false perception.

When you first put your trust in Him, He came to dwell in you and He’s been in you ever since. When He became your life, the old person that you were in Adam DIED, and you were given a brand new life as you were raised together with Jesus. This is now your life, even when you sin. When you sin, you simply are following the flesh and are not behaving as the person that you truly are in Christ. You are righteous. You are holy. You are pure. And in Christ, you are complete.

The Holy Spirit hasn’t ever called you “back,” because you’ve never been gone! He may have reminded you of who you truly are – a beloved child of God – and He may have lovingly disciplined you as a Father who loves His child dearly, but you have always, always, always, always been in His grip and you have never strayed from Him. Again, perhaps in your mind you’ve felt astray, but in reality (the reality of the truth of New Covenant scripture) you have never been even a millimeter away from Him!

The gospel is good news!

I have to agree with Kelly. I, too, have taken my eyes off the Lord. He didn’t leave me but I left Him. I know this as the Holy Spirit continually called me to turn back, but I ignored Him.

Kelly,

thank you for your comment but I have to disagree with you

You may THINK you have “backsliddin” from God because your PERCEPTION is that you are no longer close to Him because you have “taken your eyes of Him”… “sinned”… or whatever makes you feel that way.

But this is only your perception.

The truth is “”I will never leave you nor forsake you” — Jesus”.

This poem is very honest in the way it describes our PERCEPTION not always being in line with the truth:

“Footsteps In The Sand

One night a man had a dream.
He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the LORD.
Across the sky flashed scenes from his life.
For each scene, he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand:
one belonging to him, and the other to the LORD.

When the last scene of his life flashed before him
he looked back, at the footprints in the sand.
He noticed that many times along the path of his life
there was only one set of footprints.
He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times of his life.

This really bothered him and he questioned the LORD about it:
“LORD, you said that once I decided to follow you,
you’d walk with me all the way.
But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life
there is only one set of footprints.
I don’t understand why when I needed you most you would leave me.”

The LORD replied:
“My son, My precious child, I love you and I would never leave you,
During your times of trial and suffering,
when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.”

Author unknown”

With Love
Caleb

I dissagree with Tthis you can back slide when you take your eyes off of God. I know because I have done this at times He dosn’t walk away from us but we can and do walk awy from Him. The word says that His spirit wont always strive with man and it also says to come out from them and be ye seperate
