I got caught up in fornication
Question:
Hello,
I read a certain response on fornication and God's forgiveness to us Christians. I also got caught up in fornication. The only book I found myself reading is Jude, which condemns the ungodly act of taking the grace of God for granted. I feel so low in my spiritual status because I thought that after college I would have a pure wedding. I don't even know how to pray any longer. Please help me. I want to get back to God because I know He is there and He has loved me in my entire life. But this act of adultery and fornication, makes me feel like I am a rebel in the presence of my own Father, my God.
Answer:
Of course, fornication is rebelling against God, just like every other sin (Job 13:23). You are going against God's commands, which is what rebellion is.
I understand that you are disappointed in yourself, but you can't change history. You can only change your future. If you get bogged down in sorrow over your sin, then you'll never change (II Corinthians 7:10-11). Nor can you change by continuing your sins (Romans 6:1-2).
Therefore, change your attitude and your behavior. Tell God you are sorry (I John 1:9). If you haven't done all that God commanded to become a Christian, then it is time to make that commitment to Jesus. See: How to Become a Christian.
