When you look at the 10 commandments, or Jesus’ example the first thought that comes to your head is – well, this is going to be easy to follow. Well there’s 2 things I’m about to say. 1: It is easy to follow Jesus 2: It is not easy to follow Jesus.
If you think about it all you really have to do is trust and believe in Jesus and be a good person. That should be easy, right?
Well it is not that easy.
Temptations can be very strong and cause people to sin. For example, one of the 10 commandments is to not steal but if you see someone’s wallet drop on the ground and you’re in deep need of money it will be pretty hard to say no to your temptations and give the wallet back to the owner and not take it for yourself.
Temptation is something you have to overcome to become a Christian. It might sound easy but it is really not. Even if you steal the smallest thing, no matter how much you need it or want it is still a sin.
Being a Christian day in and day out is the opposite of easy. By the way this is my own personal opinion.
