This question is for Christians, please.
I consider myself a Christian. I pray and whenever I do, I feel a sense of joy and I feel like I'm talking to the best person ever. But I always sin and I hate myself for it. Everyday, I judge people and I am vein and I get angry.
Whenever I do my hair or put on makeup, I feel like I'm being vein and I feel ugly in God's eyes. I also judge EVERYONE. Like, if I pass by an overweight person, I instantly think "That person is fat". This also makes me feel ugly to Him. I also gossip, lie..I do basically every sin except kill, steal, commit adultery, and worship idols. I repent though.
All of this sin that I do makes me feel like God won't accept me into Heaven when I die. I know that Jesus forgives us when we repent, but I sin so much that it seems like he would never let someone so sinful into his kingdom. When I ask to be forgiven, I always think "You've asked God to forgive you for doing that sin a million times. He won't give you another chance"
What do you suggest I do?
Don't waste your life worrying about god not letting you into his kingdom for thinking someone is fat when they are, in fact fat. Whether you're a Christian or not, every person's purpose is to bring something positive to the world we live in. If you feel bad because of getting angry, or putting on makeup, just think about something good you've done. If there is a god, and a heaven, you won't be denied entry into his kingdom because you liked putting on makeup if you were a good person. Instead of feeling bad about little things, try doing something nice for your community and feeling good about that. Be especially kind to someone you don't know that looks sad. Volunteer at a soup kitchen. Whatever you want to do, as long as it's positive. And besides, whether you do these things or not, according to the Bible god forgives anyone for anything (yes even murder) as long as that person repents. Just because you're worried he won't forgive you doesn't mean god's policy will suddenly change.
