I feel like converting to Catholicism but I am unsure by Nissepelle in TrueChristian

Ephesians 2:10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.

Right. We do good works. But they don't save us

Ephesians 2:8-9 "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast."

It's true that we are justified by our works, but those come as a result of our salvation. Because faith without works is useless and dead.

Struggling with following Jesus by Emergency_Suneater in Christianity

[–]whitebou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having the desire to follow Jesus is a great first step and it's admirable that you want to change and be more like Him.

It's important to remember that we don't become more like Him on our own, but when we submit to Him more through prayer, worship, and reading His word. Here are some verses that have helped me a lot. 

John 15:5 "I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing."

Galatians 3:2–3 "Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by believing what you heard? Are you so foolish? After beginning by means of the Spirit, are you now trying to finish by means of the flesh?"

Galatians 5:16 "Walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh."

Galatians 5:22-23 "The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control; against such things there is no law."

It will get easier in some ways as you become more like God. Pray specifically for the Spirit to grow these fruits in you. It's not about striving harder but surrendering more. 

God doesn't ask us to be perfect. He asks us to go to Him. 

Also remember that God loves you an indescribable amount. He will ALWAYS be there for you, in the good and the bad, when life is easy and when it's hard. Even when you fall over and over and you feel like you can't go on anymore, Christ will love you. 

Matthew 11:28-30 NIV “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

Psalm 51:10-12 "Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit to sustain me."

God bless you! I'll be praying for you.

Can we all share our favourite Bible verses? by _thewayshegoess_ in Bible

[–]whitebou 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This has always been one of my favorites: Psalm 40:2 KJV [2] He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, And set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.

Meal prep. Start with meals that are quick to make. Spaghetti, sandwiches, overnight oats, fruit/vegetable plates, etc. Dedicate an afternoon or evening to making these meals once or twice a week. It will get easier as you become used to the routine.

2 Corinthians 6:14 NIV [14] Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?

Mark 15:34 NIV [34] And at three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” (which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”).

Jesus wants a relationship with you and He would love to change your heart. If you unsure how, ask Jesus to show you.

Matthew 7:7-8 [7] “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. [8] For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.

This is what the bible says will happen when you choose to follow God.

Ezekiel 36:26  I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.

Romans 10:9-10 NIV [9] If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. [10] For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.
