Why Is It So Hard to Live the Christian Life? [Special Episode w/ Dan Johnson]

Why isn't living the Christian life easier?

In pondering this, you might have asked yourself these next two questions:

1. Why do I still sin? Why can't I stop? Why can't I just live like a Christian?
2. Why don't people accept my beliefs? Why do they hate that I'm a Christian? 

First, it's important to know if you're a Christian, because if you're not one to begin with, you can't live the Christian life. There's no point considering the Christian life until you've made that decision. Jesus said, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God" (John 3:3). 

But after becoming a Christian, how do we explain that so many believers find it difficult to live the Christian life? Shouldn't it be easier?

It's critical to know that the key to living the Christian life is not something, but someone: The Holy Spirit. God gifts him to us the moment we're born again. 

He empowers youto live out God's plan for your life and also enables you to be a bright light for him in a dark and often hostile world.
