It's not easy being a Christian

Galatians 5:22, Matthew 28:20

To me, these are calling us to the enduring character of God, against that there is no law. I think as we act in obedience being fit for the kingdom is a result primarily of the things we go through and dealing with them the way He would have us to. Stuff that comes against us can't really effect us if we are sealed by the Holy Spirit. It is that which comes out of a man that makes him unclean because He should not produce the unclean and doing so gives access to the enemy to our internals. Don't do it. Don't be a responder, rather originate-out of God, God-like character. So many Christians use the phrase, it isn't easy. It's up to God, impossible to be done by men. If God is the one doing it then saying it isn't easy isn't exactly true. We let Him do it. He does the work. Thinking the path is ours to navigate makes us out to be more important in the whole process than we are. God can. We cannot. Letting God is not hard. It's necessary and all necessary ache. Rebels we were but no longer.
