Both are challenging, but at least as a saved person, we have Jesus
to follow, which is challenging because He set the bar so high.

Since most people are traveling down the broad road to destruction, I think that is the default choice.

Following Jesus can be a challenge, but with the Holy Spirit to lead and guide, it is the best way possible to live.

When God calls you to be his own, gives you joy and peace, how can we not celebrate salvation every moment of every day??

Its The kind of question that can make a person look bad because it's easier to be lost if you were born lost because of Adam but GOD created us and knows what is best for us and what's best for us is to be saved.

Being saved by grace means the bar isn't that high after all. :)

Embrace the Grace and rejoice. :cool:

well since I have chosen to respond to the call to life, the trials are intense sometimes and it seems overwhelming, however before I knew Him many of my trials were a result of my own actions (I was reaping what I had sown) but now the trials serve a purpose much greater then just as reaction to an action, but rather they serve to teach and guide me closer to what our beloved Savior has called me to be, and they strengthen my faith and trust in Him, also I can be a blessing to others by giving my testimony based on what He has brought me through, now when I am pressed with trials I pray, and am strengthened to fight another day, or minute or hour, the biggest difference is although he was always with me, (or I would be dead) I am now with Him and I see the operation of His hands in my life, and all those in the sphere of my influence, anything good you see in me is Him in me.

People who are lost do not experience hardship? Is that what you are saying? And DC says that you don't have to do anything to stay that way? That is not what the Bible teaches. Humanity hardens its heart toward God. That is doing something. It takes effort. Lost people set their course away from God. That takes dedication. Rebellion is a conscious act. People are not neutral when it comes to God. Jesus said so Himself:

"Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters."

We are born lost and we do nothing to stay that way...was my meaning.
