“We're Listening”

Saturday, July 27, 2013

Not really a question, but a statement about myself.  I don't know if I'm ready to be saved.  I have so many resentment and anger issues that I feel like aggression and hatred are the only things that fuel me.  I often thought of killing myself for many years.  I have asked for God's help before and have been desperately yearning for someone who cared enough about me to teach me, but I have received no answer, no one.  I guess everyone must think that my life is not worthy of their counsel, either that or these so-called "good people" are just a bunch of liars and charlatans.

I believe if I become saved, I won’t be used to the best of my abilities; I'll be put in a mediocre position and never get to go as deep spiritually as I need to and long for.  I'm not sure if anyone will ever read this since I have done this on other sites before and didn't get a response, but if anyone does see this, AT LEAST consider my situation for a split second.

Sincerely,
Ready For Salvation?

Dear Ready For Salvation,

We would LOVE to put you in contact with a local preacher in your area who would be more than willing to teach you.  Just e-mail us at askyourpreacher@mvchurchofchrist.org, and we will get a class set up for you.  If, and when, you become a christian, your level of growth will be up to you.  Php 2:12 says that we must all work out our own salvation – you can grow and be involved as a christian as much as you are willing to work.  Everyone comes to Christ with baggage and a history, but the key is to not let the past define you.  Let the Bible define you (Lk 6:47-49).  We can’t speak to your past experiences, but we can certainly give you an option for the future.  Let us help you to start studying now.  Let today be your day of salvation (2 Cor 6:2).  We responded to your call for help.  Now it is your turn to respond!
