Every Christian that you will ever meet can tell you that they are the biggest of sinners. It's true. As a Christian myself, I can firmly stand on the belief that I screw up a ton... like a ton a ton. And I feel as if that's a reason that we get called hypocrites so often. There's this preconceived notion that we're expected to be perfect people all of the time simply because of our love for the Savior. For example, I hear: "Well, if you're so Christian, why did you do______?" ALL OF THE TIME. Half of me wants to be sassy when I hear it, but I then have to realize that their questions are coming from a place of ignorance, not of hate. I think one of the main differences between those who love Jesus and those who don't is that as a Christian, I'm constantly reminded of my need for grace.

God's rules are what guide my moral compass, so to speak. The Bible says to honor your father and mother, so I try my best. If I was not a Christian, I'd just live by the general law. Nowhere in the law does it really say to honor your father and mother, so why bother? I think those that do not know Jesus or follow him come up with their own version of what is right or wrong based on their morals of what's inside the law. This is why, as a Christian, when someone who doesn't love Jesus hurts you, you have to understand that you both don't have the same set of rules. In their rulebook, it's probably okay to act like that.

Now, what happens when I, a Christian, do something wrong or hurt someone else? Honestly, I hope that I ask for forgiveness from whoever I heart. However, as stated before, I MESS UP ALL OF THE TIME. Just because I may have a different set of rules that I like to live by does not mean I am exempt from hurting other people. When I mess up, I might not even realize I did until someone calls me out, you know? Christians are STILL humans too. But I know that can seem hypocritical to claim to love a perfect God and still screw up constantly.

If God was a magic fairy who made sure that we were all perfect little robots all of the time, life would instantaneously be better. However, that's not the case.

I also see a lot of controversies and upset by those who claim that "You can tweet Bible verses all you want, but do you even act like a believer?"

Well, that's a solid question. Again, every Christian that I know is a huge sinner. Also, to answer that question, it's not our position to judge someone else's heart. Loving Christ does not come with some sort of ranking or percentage system. My sins are covered by Christ's love, and that's all there is to it.
