Being a Christian

Someone once said that being a Christian is too hard. Many become discouraged because of our human fallacies. The bible is full of things that we are not to do. 

Jesus Himself sternly warns us to avoid sin. 

But how do you do it when everything is pulling you towards sin?  

First of all it is important to know that we are all sinners with a variety of sins. We are all depraved.  

If we are Christians we should take the bible seriously. We should not try to change it to our liking to justify our sins. 

What we need to do is repent on a daily basis. We need to ask Him to help us avoid sin. 

Test this and you will see how He moves to change circumstances, plans or whatever might cause you to knowingly sin. I know this to be true. 

The Lord's prayer is a perfect prayer to begin your day with.  Scripture reads that His grace is sufficient in all circumstances. 

While we ARE called to obedience it is a work in progress. 

Nothing worthwhile comes easy. But the deeper your relationship with the Lord, the more joy you have, the more determined you become to please Him; the One that gave His life for His beloved.  

So do not be discouraged on your journey instead deepen your relationship with Him. 

If you have not asked Jesus to reveal Himself to you then i encourage you to do so out of my love for you. He satisfies a hungry heart and His mercies are new every morning!

In His love and mine!
