Hey, Forever GodGirl, stop romanticizing your
sin. I'm your host, Iz, and welcome or welcome
back to the Forever GodGirl podcast. In today's
episode, we are gonna be analyzing the trend,
identifying the quote unquote aesthetic sins,
exploring the biblical reality check, and lastly,
explain how to stop the cycle. Let's get into
it. So what's the trend? Social media can make
messy behavior look like a vibe. An example is
unhinged behavior. The problem, though, is that
we've started treating our struggles and sins
like personality traits or plot points in a movie
rather than things that need to be healed. Here's
the truth, though. If you are more focused on
how your life looks than how your soul is, you're
romanticizing the very things that Jesus died
to free you from. After all, it's freedom from
sin, not freedom to sin. Now that we've identified
the problem, now I'm going to identify and call
out the quote unquote aesthetic sins and the
cute names that we have for them versus the biblical
reality. First up we have I'm just a yapper or
I'm spilling tea when it's really just gossip
and careless words. But the biblical reality
is that in Matthew 12 36 it says, but I tell
you that everyone will have to give account on
the day of judgment for every empty word they
have spoken. Next up, being a hater. Now this
one is pretty normalized in friend groups and
online, but in Titus 3 .3, The Biblical Reality,
it says, Next up we have, I'm just a lazy person,
or I'm in my lazy era, when that's really just
lotfulness and ignoring the call of God. But
Proverbs 6 -6 says, take a lesson from the ants,
you lazy bones. Learn their ways and become wise.
That's the biblical reality. Here's the point
I'm trying to make though. Sin doesn't stay cute.
It has a life cycle. Desire, sin, and then death.
And it can either be physical death, spiritual
death, emotional death, or mental death. Proverbs
14 -12 says, there's a way that seems right to
a man, but its end is the way to death. Listen,
Satan doesn't always come in as a monster. Sometimes
he comes as a quote -unquote Pinterest -perfect
distraction that makes compromise look comfortable.
Remember that even the devil masquerades as an
angel of light. How do we stop the cycle? Well
firstly, we gotta call it what it is. Stop using
slang to hide sin. If it's pride, call it pride.
If it's lust, call it lust. Repentance starts
with honesty and acknowledgement. Secondly, you
gotta audit your inspo. Are the creators or shows
that you watch making sin look glamorous or romanticizing
their sin or justifying their sin? Because if
they are, it might just be time to hit unfollow
or offload. Now it's time for our special segment,
hot takes. Today, we got not one, not two, but
three hot takes, and I know you're gonna love
them. First hot take, should I tell people if
their outfits are modest? This one has a little
bit of controversy on the internet, but I wanted
to see what you would say. 80 % said yes, speak
the truth and love. And then 20 % said nah, people
have different convictions. Next up we have,
is it okay for Christian girls to wear bikinis
on vacay? 0 % said yes, love a good bikini. 43
% said, um, stick to the one pieces and tankinis.
And 57 % said, yeah, but make sure it's not provocative.
The last and final hot take we have today is,
can Christians be friends with people of other
religions? Now this one kind of surprised me.
50 % said, yes, diversity is great. 17 % said,
no, protect your faith. And 33 % said, yes, but
not best friends. Now I want to know, what is
your opinion on all those hot takes? If you didn't
get a chance to vote, make sure you're following
us on Instagram at Forever God Girl Podcast so
that you can be a part of the polls. And remember
to ask your parent or legal guardian for permission
first. That was such a great special segment,
but now it's time to talk about something a little
more serious and even more exciting, salvation.
Here's a word from Zai. So if you have a personal
relationship with Jesus Christ, then this message
will help you. But if you don't have a personal
relationship with Jesus Christ, I invite you
to give your heart to the Lord today. To receive
him into your heart, go to Romans 10, 9 -10.
It says, If you confess with your mouth the Lord
Jesus, and believe in your heart that God has
raised him from the dead, You will be saved,
for with the heart one believes unto righteousness,
and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
If you said this prayer with sincerity, you are
saved and now have eternal life with Jesus. You
are saved from all your sins. present and future
sins you may commit. This truth is not a free
pass to sin anytime. Instead, Jesus gives you
power over all wrong choices and empowers you
to spread the gospel to others. You are saved
forever, and your name is written in the book
of life. Did you just give your life to Jesus?
Because if you did, give yourself a pat on the
back. I am so godly proud of you. Thank you so
much for listening to this episode. I trust that
it helped you and that you learned something.
And remember, next time you're about to call
it just a little tea, say it out loud. This is
gossip. Next time you say, I'm in my lazy era,
call it disobeying God's rhythm. If that doesn't
sound cute anymore, that's because it never was.
