Hello, I'm Amanda!
Welcome to my blog! Please feel free to comment. I love hearing what you have to say!
Look not through the eyes of a human, but through the eyes of God.
Impossible is not a word. It's just an excuse not to try.

Sin

Romans 6:12-14
Do not let sin control the way you live*, do not give in to it's lustful desires: or do not let sin reign in your body, which is subject to death. Do not let any part of your body become a tool of wickedness, to be used for sinning. Instead, give yourself completely to God since you have been given a new life. And use your whole body as a tool to do what is right for the glory of God. Sin is no longer your masters, for you are no longer subject to the law, which enslaves you to sin. Instead, you are free by God's grace.

Jesus died for us sinners knowing the pain he would endure. That is a lot to take in. He died so we can be forgiven and so we could repent. But one of the best things he gave us was freedom to think. With freedom to think, we can change the way we think about a certain situation. We can make our minds chose to not think about sinning! We can renew our mind with the word of God. And there is a difference between studying the word of God and just reading the word of God. You must study it and live it! Rather it be stealing a candy bar or murdering someone, sin is all the same in God's eyes! The bible talks about sinners who chose not to turn to God almighty will be thrown in the lake of fire! That is eternal separation from God. Sounds pretty scary to me! The devil tries to steel our ability to concentrate. Don't let his deceiving ways tempt you no matter how good it sounds or looks. The devil is nothing but trouble. Seek the word of God, over come your fears, and with the Holy Spirit's guidance, we can conquer anything as long as we put our faith in God! So remember, rather you become a slave to sin and turn your back on God or praise and worship Him it's up to you. Just know that every decision has a consequence. So what are you going to do?
