Just wondering - Do you think it is harder to Live for Christ or to Die for Christ? I'd be interested in your reasons why either way. Thanks
 
To live for Christ you must die to the flesh and pick up your Christ and follow Jesus...its the same! hahaha
 
Both require death to the "flesh" :)

God gives us the measure of grace we need, He never gives us more than we can handle so whatever God has asked us to do He has given us the grace to do it!

I guess I was thinking more of daily living a life for Christ and martyrs dying for Christ which do you think would be harder to do? I ask myself this question and wanted to see what others were thinking.
 
Well that's what I meant, both require death to the flesh. To live for Christ you have to daily die to your "flesh" that is the sinful nature.

God gives us the grace we need for each day, His grace is sufficient and He will never give us more than we can bear. The Lord gives us the strength we need to be able to do what we need to do. His strength is made perfect through our weakness.

So whatever we're called to do, the Lord will give us the strength to do it. We wont be able to do it in our own strength its all the Lord through us, He gives us the grace to do it.
