Is it easy to follow Christ? [Spirituality & Religion]

What must you do to be saved? Can we just believe or what is the fruit, the evidence of a born again Christian? What does Christ mean when he says "believe"! Just accept Him as Lord? or is he also asking to leave [b]everything behind and follow Him[/b]?


13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:

14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

It's unbelievably hard. I accepted Jesus as my Savior just a couple of months ago, and turning away from the life of sin, changing your heart, making it pure again... It's hard. Christians need to stop telling the non-believers that following Christ will always make them happy. Well, sometimes it will not. Sometimes it will make you hate yourself and be sorry for yourself.

I know this phase will eventually end; our Lord Jesus will purify my heart. But it's not easy.
