Quoet:” . And that relationship changes your heart. When your heart is changed, then your behavior changes. Do everything you can to know Jesus more, then those doubts about whether or not you are saved will subside.”

I want to comment about foregiveness.
How to live in order to enable the Creator in His loving kindness to provide His foregivness is outlined in the Jewish Bible ; and was also taught by the first century Ribi Yehoshua from Nazareth (the Mashiakh; the Messiah). The Jewish Bible – for example Yekhëzqeil (Hezekiel) 18 – promises foregivness to those who do their sincerest to keep Torah. The Creator cannot lie and He does not change (Malakhi 3:6)! According to Tehilim (“Psalms”) 103 the Creator gives his foregivness to those who do their sincerest to keep His berit (“covenant”; the pre-conditions to be included in the berit is according to the Jewish Bible to do ones sincerest to keep Torah).

You will find Ribi Yehoshuas teachings here: http://www.netzarim.co.il

But the man who has doubts is condemned if he eats, because his eating is not from faith; and everything that does not come from faith is sin. ~ Romans 14:23

We do have to remember that James 1:6-8 warns of us doubt though:

"But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does."

Great Post. 2 years ago one of kids in our kids church died suddenly of the common flu. Needless to say I have wrestled with a few doubts.

And have learned and am still learning that God is Ok with our doubts. I think that once you have wrestled a doubt to ground you have a more powerful faith because it's based on something more than thinking positive.

Great post John

“It is by doubting [or questioning] that we arrive at truth.”

Peter Abelard, ca. 1125. Abelard is one of my favorite all-time Christians, precisely for statements like this.
