I am not truly saved and I'm scared to tell my parents

[Dillon2009]

So, I have been 'saved' three times, but I realized that I didn't mean it any of those times.

The first time I was 'saved,' I was little, so of course, I didn't mean it.
The second time, I didn't mean it either.
The third time, I just said it because I was scared of going to hell. If I tell my parents or any of my family members, they'll get upset with me. I know they will.

(By the way, sorry if this is a bit confusing. I have OCD, so...)

Concentrate of getting to know God. Truth is, you don't know if you belong to him or not. This life is about Christ --not you.

You are honest with yourself that's a good first step. God knows your heart. There are plenty of " fake" Christians out there. Now it's time to be honest to those around you so they can help you find the path to Him. Be blessed.

Obsessing about salvation is quite common with OCD. Do you have any help for dealing with your OCD?

You're saved. We walk by faith not by sight. This means that it doesn't matter what our mind thinks or sees. My own mind is my enemy. I have mental struggles. I ignore my mind. Romans 8 said that nothing can separate us from God's love. Not even my broken mind. Not any illness. Nothing can rob us of God's love. We're saved.

You have been saved three times.

With that thinking, you will continue to go through life being saved.

Where you are going wrong is, you need to not so much think about being saved. But instead you need to look at what God is offering you and every other person alive today.

Which is God's free gift of Eternal Life, that is the very Life of God. To receive this free gift, the only condition God requires from a person is to believe in Jesus. Which is believing that Jesus is who He says He is. The resurrection and the life, the promised Messiah/Son of God.

If at some point in your life you believe this about Jesus, you become a permanent born again child of God.
As This verse in John states you cross over from death to life.

“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.
