Why do you get sleepy when you read the Bible?
Getting sleepy and eventually falling asleep after reading a few pages is a phenomenon that many, if not most, of us can relate to. As your brain works hard and your eye muscles tire, it’s only natural that they would need rest, leading to eyes slowly closing and sleep taking over.

Why do people sleep while praying?
The pope said falling asleep while praying pleases God. He quoted the Bible while talking about his sleep habits.

How do you know if you are saved according to the Bible?
1. The Bible says so The first way we know we’re saved is that the Bible says so. We have to realize that the Bible isn’t an ordinary book; it’s the speaking of the living God Himself. And God does not lie, so we can absolutely believe, trust, and rely on His Word.
Are We genuinely saved once we receive Christ?
This love in us for our brothers in the Lord is further evidence that we’re genuinely saved. Once we receive Christ as our Savior, we have wonderful sources of the assurance of our salvation in the written word of the Bible, the Spirit witnessing with our spirit, and love for our brothers in the Lord.
Can a Christian die in sin and still go to Heaven?
But salvation is not based on our confession of sins, but on our confession of Christ (Romans 10:9-10). And if a person is saved and they sin and then die without asking for forgiveness, they will go to be with God. So yes, a Christian can die in sin (as long as they are truly saved) and still go to heaven.
Are We saved by our works or are we kept saved by faith?
So, in answer to your question, we are not saved by our works and we are not kept saved by our works. We are saved by faith and God has sent His Spirit to seal us until the day of redemption (2 Corinthians 1:22; Ephesians 4:30). What we do, or do not do, does not affect salvation.
