How do I enjoy my life on Earth knowing I'm going to hell when I die?

[Anonymous]

there's no way i won’t go to hell after i die, i realized that my whole life i have sinned and caused many people to suffer even family. Im a walking mistake. I have repented and cried all the tears i could for many nights because of this and i feel like its enough for god or anyone to forgive me. but sometimes it feels that im already in hell from all these thoughts. I deserve the pain im feeling but deep down i wish i could disappear like i never existed and bless those that i’ve wronged. If anyone could please give me advice on what i should do with my life now.

“Its not enough for god or anyone to forgive me”

[lightbulb27]

accept the salvation of Christ, John 3:14. that is the answer.

You appear to have difficulty with forgiveness. I don't know why you say God can't forgive you... plenty of good examples in the Bible.

your thoughs/emotions have put you in misery... in essence, are ruining your life and wasting your time, the only thing you have... to influence all of history. Recovering that, gives life back.

This situation really is the power of God through Christ, to cover your sins so you are free of them... and can live your life again. The whole thing is about freeing those enslaved in the fallen world, to live for God, which is love, which is what you want.

You can live by being your true self.

A great truth I learned... your wound when healed becomes strength. The deeper it is the more powerful it is a gift for good.

exactly and from among all people the fit is for the "broken hearted" i think that is the meaning of poor spirit etc.

@strateguy632 thank you!

Be not believing in a hell in the first place it's a very silly concept I mean wtf would even be the point. Oh your being punished for being a prick but then what? It's just a sadists dream their is no end goal unless the god u believe in a absolute bastard that would rather punish people than rehabilitate them in which case you shouldn't worship that god to begin with so live your life and work on being a good person when u see someone who needs help, help them that's all anyone reasonable can ask

[strateguy632]

did you know a "sadist" enjoys inflicting pain. would you say the same about a judge sending to death penalty sadist? just justice only... and that is the parallel

[call_me_scar]

Some one clearly needs to see the last season of the good place or just Google rehabilitation for prisoners. That someone would be you true power isn't the ability to end lives or torture them FOREVER ( forever being a concept you may want to think about for a second) in this case, power is the ability to change minds and make someone better the opposite of what your silly little hell will achieve sure if you pulled Hitler out right now he'd probably dedicate his life to being a toilet cleaner for a Jewish preschool but he really hasn't learned shit he's just scared and probably lost his mind more than he already did in life nope the hell I'd make that your silly look book doesn't describe would be a place of learning and healing so they actually know what they did is wrong and would genuinely feel bad for their actions and as I'd have the power of a god in this case you know it would work amazingly unless making people better is something your god can't do

[Agape93]

If it helps hon, most of humanity will be that too according to the Christian mythos. You'll be in good company

There is NO heaven or hell. You will be fine.

[Asker]

I believe there is, I still feel guilty for everything.

[strateguy632]

to an, i just smile when i see such certainty about spiritual stuff we can't "know" either way unless by sources. where did you search to see no heaven nor hell?

[ohsheeT]

Well we are all sinners I'm going to say I'm one of the biggest sinners but my sins do not or they're not for hurting somebody but since you know all of your sins and since you know everything you have done why don't you just turn it around and become a different person why don't you help people that get bullied why don't you do something powerful with the knowledge that you know that you have right now have you asked for forgiveness of your sins but I mean really understanding what you've done is wrong and with your whole heart ask for forgiveness I can tell you right now you're not going to go to hell and it's just because I have that time and I'm usually right with my vibes but why don't you turn a negative into a positive and start enjoying life and helping people instead of feeling bad because you've done something to people change that's all you have to do is change that mean it and become that person you want to become

[MementoMori777]

if you repented and meant it then god will forgive you but its also important to try your hardest to not fall into the same things, your fate isn't sealed from the sins you have committed, its sealed after living a life of sin and and after repentance, those sins are washed away, thats why Jesus died on the cross, for you to be forgiven from sin when you repent, i do recommend to make your life better you should try fixing as many wrongs as you can and as much as you can, leave your old self behind.

[strateguy632]

to mem, superbly presented

[Aiko_E_Lara]

It's only you who isn't really forgiving yourself not God. Everybody is a sinner but God is merciful. Remember, there's nothing you can do about your past but you can do something about your future by accepting God to guide you. Jesus died for our sins so he's willing to help anyone.

[strateguy632]

depends what you think merciful means. does merciful mean a pushover? does merciful mean i can park handicapped spot because merciful won't punish anything? of course not merciful means delay punishment instead of struck by lightning so a person has option to change direction and feel regret.

[Aiko_E_Lara]

But did I even say push over? I even talked about accepting God to guide us

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

The blood of Jesus Christ washes away your sins and God won't remember them anymore since the righteousness of Jesus Christ will be imputed on your behalf and you will inherit eternal life through Jesus Christ if you call upon Him for salvation which is 100% free provided by His grace and blood for the remission of sins.

[strateguy632]

to those loyal, he paid the price.

[BCRanger10]

What makes you so certain of all this and why? What terrible things have you done? And what makes you think that it is all beyond God's forgiveness?

[Lynx122]

Try and get therapy and do some volunteering. No matter how bad you think you are it always feels good to do something for a good cause and at the end of the day you can look back on it.

[dreamstar72]

You most likely will be joined by 3/4 of human life living or dead.
However don’t freak yourself out because if God is a fair god only 1/4 of human life living or dead will be condemned to hell.

[strateguy632]

fair by whose standard? western culture fairness or other standars. what if fair is "i warned my son not to eat the candy and he did so fair to punish".

[dreamstar72]

Ok there are 5 basic types of religions around the world today, within these religions there are hundreds of sub-religions. So you are saying a fair God can chose what religion is his chosen religion. What happens if you lived a good and caring life but you pick the wrong religion. Is that fair to you to be condemned to the fires of hell. This is one of the reasons religion is questioned today because a lot more people has educated.

[LiamJHayden]

It has nothing to do with your being good enough.

[strateguy632]

i like that angle.

[DextroShade]

If you believe in hell you also have to believe that your God will forgive you if you repent.

[jshm2]

You do as much good as you can. Try your best.

[Blueeyes81]

You have guilt complex.
