If Jesus Covers All Sins Then Why Can't I Do (insert sin here)? (Religious Sundays #2)

            So I feel like this is a question many non-Christians/new Christians might not understand! In the Bible it talks about how when you have faith in Jesus, and have him enter into your heart, that your sins are covered by his Passion (when he died on the cross and resurrected ). Yes, this is true, but this does not mean that you can just go and sin and not care that you sinned.
             This is for many reasons. The Bible talks about how you should try your hardest to be like Jesus, this is talked about a lot, especially when Jesus says "If anyone is to be my disciple, have him take up his cross and follow me". Jesus came to this earth to show us how we should strive to be.  The sins that he covered up by his death and resurrection are the sins that we ourselves are not aware that we have/are committing. The Bible talks a lot about how it is reaaaally sinful if someone is aware something is a sin, yet sins anyway because the whole point of a sin is that it is something bad, that makes us less in God's eyes, and something that we should not do. God wants us to be as sinless as we can be, and we can never be truly sin-free, but we can all strive to be better people is Jesus Christ.
            Jesus wants us to be like him, and he truly cares for us. Jesus does cover up our sins when we are faithful in him, but we still want to represent him as best as we can. If we believe in Jesus and sin A LOT, then people will think we are hypocrites, and this is completely misrepresenting Christ and all that he stands for! Jesus Christ died for our sins, and we should want to be as much like him as we can, and show him and God thanks for all they have done for us in our lives. Our salvation should be something that occurs, and makes us better people, and we can do this by following Christ. We should not be cocky, or think that we are better than others, we should love all people, evangelize, not commit sexual acts outside of marriage, and speak out against the things that God and Jesus say are abominable. You cannot be a Christian who just picks and chooses things in the Bible to believe, it must be ALL of God's word. If you want to talk to me for some Christian/Catholic fellowship please leave me a comment with your email and I will be happy to talk to you!

Happy Sunday! God bless you all!

Love,
Elizabth

Dual Action Moisturizer (Which is better? On Brand Or OffBrand? #2)(Blogmas 2016 #4)

      A post that I am very proud of, and that many of you wonderful readers really seemed to enjoy, was my Which Is Better? On Brand, or Off Brand Beauty Blender Edition . I decided to make it a little series because I realize that I love a good dupe, and I want you to join in my journey to great dupes! So welcome to another On-Brand or Off-Brand post!        I think every person can agree that moisturizer is something that is a necessity in a skincare routine, especially in this upcoming winter season! I know in the winter I get very dry skin, and I know that moisturizer can get quite expensive, so I thought I would try out a store brand moisturizer, and compare it to a Clean and Clear moisturizer that I already knew I loved.      These are the two moisturizers that I will be comparing in this post! The clean and clear advantage dual action moisturizer (I know this one is slightly different but I have used both!), and the Walmart...

Life Is Happening RIGHT NOW

           One thing that I have really discovered about myself within the past year is that I am way too focused on the future. I often find myself planning my future down to the last detail, and daydreaming.               But let me tell you something. This does not get you anywhere. I realized that I was legitimately spending my life just thinking about a life I dreamed of and planning my future in my mind. However, I soon came to realize that life is happening right now. I am living a wonderful, beautiful, and amazing life now, and if I keep daydreaming excessively I will be living more in my fantasy than in my reality. Though this may sound great, reality is truly wonderful.                I soon began to realize, 'oh dang, I must stop daydreaming'. So that is what I did. I prayed, and I worked hard to stop my daydreaming tendencies. Now I have severely cut down the amount of t...

How I Have Deepened My Faith

            A few months ago God truly found me. I knew I wanted to start a relationship with God and with Jesus,but I did not how to begin this faithful journey in my life. However, here I am a few months later and I feel more spiritual than ever. I know I still have a lot to learn,but you always do when it comes to Christ. Here are my tips for starting a relationship with Christ. 1. Pray This is so simple ,but so true. I pray so much. I pray every morning when I wake up to thank God for a safe night. I pray when I am aware I have sinned. I pray before I, or my family eats. I pray before I go to bed. I pray a lot in between. Praying does not have to be a set prayer, you can legitimately just talk to God. It takes a little bit of getting used to, but you get the hang of it as you practice. Remember God knows that you are new to this, and he knows that you are trying and he will help you to learn to pray better. Remember, do not just pray for things, pr...
