How to be a christian

Okay so the title lied my bad I just didn’t really know how else to title this. There’s not a specific way to be a Christian. I’m still figuring everything out but since my last post got a lot of unexpected attention I figured there’s a lot of people who may benefit if I share my religious journey. I guess like sharing what god is doing in my life. I keep having this question of “What am I supposed to do?”. This goes for how I dress, how I speak, how I act, and simply how I live in general. The thing is, there’s not an answer. It’s a little stressful at times wondering what does god want me to do? Am I doing this right? Should I be doing something else? What I’ve learned basically as a general rule is this; do what you feel is morally correct. It’s not so much about your actions as it is about the intention behind them. What I’ve begun doing is instead of asking “is this something I’m supposed to do?” I’ll ask “do my intentions align with the fruits of the spirit?”

The fruits of the spirit being;

Love

Joy

Peace

Patience

Kindness

Goodness

Faithfulness

Gentleness

Self-control (I want to add that self control does not mean restraint from basic necessities because I see that mistake made so often)

if my intentions are going against any of these then I know my actions are morally wrong and ungodly. With that being said, if I do happen to act on bad intentions ITS OKAY!! God doesn’t shame us for our mistakes but rather he guides us away from them. He knows as well as anyone it is Inevitable humans are imperfect and we all make mistakes. It’s okay. When I do make a mistake what I try to do is sit with it and talk about it with god in my prayers. He is with you and will guide you through it. I’m not the best Christian in the world, I’ve only been with the faith about 2 months now, but from what I’ve learned and what has been shared with me the only requirement in gods eyes is that we trust him :)

Disclaimer: I’m not always right I may be wrong I’m just sharing what I’ve learned because it helped me and therefore may be helpful to someone else!!
