Question
Hello I had wilfuly sinned in the past but i felt remorse repented and asked for forgiveness, did i lose my salvation?ty

Answer
No;

Down through the centuries, many have been touched by God’s invitation: “Come back to me with all your hearts.” (Joel 2:12) That was said to a people who had known Jehovah, but it also reflects God’s interest in those who are just learning about him. Yes, God has not lost confidence in humans’ ability to feel sorry for their past wrong course, to repent, and to turn to doing what is right. That puts them in line for survival.—1 Timothy 4:16.

I am a mother of 4 and I taught each of them the scriptures,I have used the bible to help my youths to get answers to their questions, so I am sure I can answer other youths also.The bible answers such questions as," what does God think of-- Homosexuality, sex before marriage,smoking, dating,drinking etc.Youths want answers, but sometimes it is difficult to find just where the bible speaks about such things, and that is where I come in, I will point them to the appropriate scriptures.

Experience

Mother of 4 and grandmother of 12,who conducted regular bible studies with her own children.
