Have I been chosen to be fallen?
Nov 4th, 2008 by Mark Lefers
With regards to the problem of evil I have heard that evil will not be so great as to break someone’s faith IF God has chosen them. This is not the most comforting thing to hear when one is doubting their faith in God. How do I know if God has chosen me? How do I know if I have been chosen to be a fallen one, an unbelieaver? How do I even know if there is a God to even make that choice?
In the past I gave my life to Christ and was saved, and I felt secure in my faith. I felt a comfort knowing that God was in control. Knowing what Christ did for me made me humble and I strived for sanctification. I enjoyed going to church and fellowshipping with other Christians. I was a Christian.
But over this past year and a half, doubt has eroded my faith, and I feel as if my faith is lost. I don’t know what the future holds. I don’t know if I’ll be able to look back on this time as a time of growth, or will I die with unresolved doubt. I guess this is what feeling lost feels like.
