What great power God has exerted through this study! I struggled with fear of losing my salvation through many means. I thought about abandoning my faith because my fear was so severe. God is all I have most days, and He loves me so much, I could not abandon something that He has so long fostered in my heart. I knew if I did, I would just be back in years to come with more pain and more shame that would be harder to overcome. I have been blessed by God’s comfort over the last few weeks, and the realization that it is a choice to walk in His love, to walk as an Oak of Righteousness rather than a person who has no hope. Jesus gave us hope so that we may have life and have it abundantly. My choice was clear in the end. I chose Jesus and will continue to choose Jesus until the day I die.
