Ask a Minister

~ A place to find answers to gnawing spiritual questions ~


Question: I am a Christian and even though I am struggling with certain sin in my, life I am trying to follow God's path for me...I have two questions: 1) If you sin after you are saved, does that mean you were not truly saved, or that none of us are perfect and we should just try to improve? 2) I lost my little puppy that I have been bottle-feeding for 5 days, I have been terribly heartbroken.. will I see my little puppy in heaven?

Answer: 1) I am so glad you are a Christian. Nothing is a great as this experience. Just because we have some trouble serving Him like we would like to does not mean we are not saved. We do need to get sin out of our lives because, for one thing, others are watching us, as well as the fact that we reflect God and we know He has no sin. Also sin cannot enter Heaven. Don't be disheartened by this as that is why we have repentance. When we realize we have sinned, we need to go to God in repentance immediately and not to do that same thing again.

You need to spend time in The Bible and find out what God instructs us to do to stay in favor with Him. If the Bible is hard for you to understand please get a "New International Version" Bible. It will be easier to understand. Spend time in prayer and learn to listen to His voice.

2) As to your puppy, I don't believe there will be puppies in heaven, but when we get to heaven there will be no tears, so we know you will not miss your puppy then. I'm sure, in the meantime it is doing just fine. God has a way of taking care of puppies.

I'm sure you will do well serving God. If you were not sincere, you would not have asked your question. I will be praying for you. Do your best and God will bless that.
