We live in a culture of cynicism and unbelief.
Crucial to our walk is an open heart, repenting and dealing with sin issues, seeing the
cross and what it meant for Jesus to die upon it for me, to show me the way
not just everyone else, but face to face with me, flesh and blood.
It is why the turin shroud has interested me. All the wounds on it follow the
crucifixion account exactly. Such suffering is difficult to imagine, such dedication
and accepting of pain.
Love transforms our hearts as we work through what it means to be alive and
to be in other peoples shoes. When you know your own weaknesses and problems,
you begin to see the possibility of mistakes, of confusion, of sin, and of forgiveness.
Most of our sin comes from having a closed heart to God and a closed heart to
our neighbour. Once you start to follow Jesus and walk with Him everything changes.
But to the cynic, nothing changes, and to unbelief, it is just words.
God the creator has spoken. Take Him at His word, because at His word everything
came into being and has its being, so what He says is true.

This is an very interesting point.
With an open heart, repentance, confession and faith in the cross, knowing Jesus and
walking in the Spirit in love, we become one with the Father and the Son.
So when we walk it is Jesus walking through us and in us.
It is not earning eternal life it is walking in the communion with the living God.

Let me help you out: There is a difference between being simple and being easy. Doing 100 push-ups is a simple concept. However, doing 100 push-ups isn't necessarily easy to do. So if Jesus asks you to do 100 push-ups, it is a simple command, though not an easy one to carry out, for most of us.

It's not? Jesus changing us has something to do with showing us His ways, yes?
I hope you're not implying we will still be like Christ, yet can be spiritually ignorant?
Now, that could reveal much about the church in these last days during the Falling Away..... destroyed for a lack of knowledge.

You guys are are making my eyes hurt.
Jesus yoke is gentle in that it fits correctly, however you still have to pull. I have been a Christian for a very long time...and it is not easy, however it is the best way to go. I have heard all the stories of do this, or do that, and it will work out wonderful, and blah,blah, folks there is no easy road, often times you just have to bite the bullet and keep going.
