Christian laws are good laws

Hello everyone! First I'd like to share with you a list of christian personality traits from the back of my bible and then talk about how they should of been my personal traits even before I was a christian. The bible has showed me its telling us how to live as christians but so far most of the things it says even non christians should have and some of the rules god set for us as christians are the rules our goverment tries to uphold.I thought it would be crazy christian rules to live by to serve god and I was suprised at how normal christian laws were and still hard to follow sometimes becuase the devil knows we are weak and is constantly trying to attack us to do sin but I saw how these laws were good to be followed. ok to stay on track a little the christian personality traits from my personal bible:
courage
convictions
contentment
compassion
confidence
constistency
creativity
determination
doing your best
flexebility
forgiveness
freindliness
generosity
honesty
humility
inititive
kindness
loyalty
manners
neatness
obiedience
orderliness
optimism
puncuality
patience
responsibility
reverence
respectfulness
self-control
tolerance
thriftyness
thankfulness
truthfulness
purity
work
Now if your like me you read this list and said DUH!!! youd think this is the stuff our parents should of taught us and normal citizens should have. This was one of the first things after I was saved that showed me I had made the right decision and this was a family I had to be a part of! If all of gods children and christians are people with all these qualitys then I had to find them and be one of them. I couldnt understand why it took me soo long to want this. Now all I ask is for everyone to read these personality traits and try to work on your own personality traits to reflect some of these!!! God bless you all and have a blesssed day!

Objectives of my posts

Today I have asked for forgivness from my brother in jail. for judging him his whole life becuase of his actions. I have also forgave him so I can start new with him and just treat him as my brother with full love. I dont say unconditional love cause as humans we really arent capable of unconditional love. I believe only god can do that, but we can still strive for it. As you can probably tell I didnt excell at sentence structure in school and I'm notorious for run on sentences so bear with me folks:) i have finished reading the new testement and now i am on exodus in the old testement. I am trying to study and read the bible but Im also just studying the familys and facts so far. Ill read it again to study the deep meanings of some of the teachings. Most are easy to understand even for new believers. The New testement says not to judge people, how pride creates strife, not to show favortism to rich people versus poor people,you should give to the needy, and so on. now just reading these things is self explanitory but more thinking on the subjects can be done. for example; not judging people. I didnt relize how much i was judging even when i didnt truelly think I was. When you dont judge then comes in some christian traits I am trying to use instead of judging. they are forgiveness,humility,responsibility,ect... Ill give the entire list at the end of this blog. Im just getting used to this speaking thing so bear with me i get off track very easy. soon I will pick one topic and try to stay on it. I dont want to preach with this blog I want to share what I am learning incase someone else is having the same promblems. now i am no where near qualified to tell anyone how to live,for i am learning myself . i am in noway a position to act as if i understand the bible. But however I would like to talk about what I do think I understand from it with this blog.
