I am well aware of that. I still have OCD, which makes me doubt that I did what I obviously did 2 days ago, or that I somehow did it wrong. And I still have sinful thoughts, but hopefully, they will become less frequent as time goes on.
Satan will work hard on the doubts part. Just remember your salvation does not depend on your efforts or how you feel it depends on Christ. He’s got this.
The enemy of our souls would have us in that state. Almost everyone I know who has accepted Christ relates the same thing.
Feelings are subjective. What is objective is the change that happened in my life in so many areas that I could not account for otherwise. The evidence of salvation is not feeling like it, but seeing what God has done and the changed attitudes and desires. Not just losing the old ones, but gaining the new ones.
And I still have sinful thoughts, but hopefully, they will become less frequent as time goes on.
I hope so for you. I'm not there yet. (The flesh is strong in this one.)
Welcome to the family.
Congrats!
Don’t sweat it, God is in charge now.
And I like your bad self’s point of view

Write it on a calendar...When Satan tries to convince you that you really didn't get saved, all you have to do is refer to that calendar and scream at him, 'Yes I did, on such and such a date'...
You/we will always have sinful thoughts...One difference now is that we can recognize them as sinful and try to back away from them...Don't worry, it's all good...
Will be praying for you to flourish in your new found faith
Welcome to the family of man; AND to the family of GOD!
Welcome to the Family! Enjoy the walk. And it is a walk. Sometimes you move forward. Sometimes you lilt to the side. You can even stumble backwards. We are never perfect on this side. But we walk through it.
We will keep you in our prayers because many times new Christians are attacked. The devil gets angry whenever a person steps away from the darkness and into God’s Light.
