salvation eternal life bible christian heaven hell truth real honest

Our listener asks, "I am writing today because I just cannot find
peace in my heart. I truly believe Jesus is the only
way to heaven, and that His blood He shed dying
on the cross is the only payment accepted for my
sins. I just cannot figure out why my heart and mind
won’t accept it. It is like there is another voice in
my head telling me that I don’t really believe. And
it just stays there, and my mind goes in every
possible direction. I have prayed many times, asking God to show me,
if I am relying on something else, and I just cannot
see what it could be. Then I think if I really believed,
then I would not have so much doubt. So then that
takes me back to square one. And since God does not hear prayers from the lost,
I do not see a way to see what is holding me back.
I have watched the gospel presentations, and I say
‘I am believing,’ because I know that no amount of
works or good behavior could pay for a single sin I have committed. And I keep telling myself to just
take God at His word. But days go by, and my
mind keeps telling me ‘Nope! You don’t really
believe that.’ I have had many thoughts of taking
my life after hearing a sermon, knowing Jesus is my only hope, and I am trusting in Him. But then I
get too scared because if I am wrong, my only
destination is hell. I have talked to my pastor, and
he believes I am under some kind of Satanic
attack. I just want to quit all these areas of my life as I’m serving in my church. If you could offer any
guidance, or if you could just pray for me; I would
greatly appreciate it."
