Is it really that hard to be a Christian? Yes and no. We think the world wants us to be perfect. I'm not sure Jesus even wants that! We think Jesus is always wanting us to be more than we already are. So we find ourselves caught in this world where we can never match up; never attain the goal.
We simply are living in a state of always striving and rarely living life at a thriving state. We begin each day with a whirlwind of expectations and spiritual exercises that is meant to project us into a satisfied life of finally living the fullest "Christian" life.
How unfortunate for us that we would put so much on ourselves. In fact, when we do we become the fake, hypocritical Christian that atheists love to bash and other Christians find at best; annoying.
That's the hard part. So how is being a Christian easy?
Christians need to live genuine, authentic, intentional lives. We become honest about what we wish to be. We are honest about our flaws and shortcomings. We make intentional moves to follow Christ without trying to be a Christ.
When I find someone is genuine, I am more likely to accept them and enjoy them as a person. Wouldn't it be easier to be a genuine person who believes in Christ and pursues a relationship with him than to ACT like what a "Christian" is suppose to act like?
The answer is YES!
