That might be YOUR question.
The answer is rather simple actually; because He died for us. (Every one of us, yes, you too).
Does Jesus expect all of us to die in return of His actions? NEVER.
He wants us to LIVE instead. Following Christ isn’t easy; we have each a cross of our own to carry.
Maybe you'd ask again, "why would someone want to suffer for Christ (like
following the bible and have a restricted life)? Isn’t there always a choice of
happiness? Why would someone choose the hard way? Isn’t that stupid?"
I’d say...NO, that isn’t stupidity. That is what I call OBEDIENCE.
People have proclaimed themselves as Christians yet is only using that status as a mask. Real Christians are those who dare to take on whatever is given to them. The Lord would not give us something we couldn’t handle. Problems shape us into a better us. Do not give up; do not be defeated by problems. Overcome them and you will GROW.
At first I was clueless as well. I didn’t know what "LIVING FOR CHRIST" means. I blurry just tailed what people say and had quite a hard time accepting the facts. I was so BLIND. Anyone remember that book, 'purpose of driven life'? When I read it the first time, I thought it was just too much. How was I supposed to surrender my life to God, Jesus? How come I needed to start living for Him? I didn’t understand.
"If this is the life He gave me, why I am still supposed to let Him use me
to do His things. This wouldn’t be my life anymore if that was to happen, isn’t
it?" I thought.
Then slowly I opened up. I thought I’d let Him in my life a bit, but not interfering too much either. Then I wasn’t in love with God yet.
Many people have a lot of questions about Christians, I know. Following Christ isn’t easy, but a Christian got to do what a Christian got to do, isn’t it? When you decide upon something, keep your words and initialize something.
Now, this is the extreme case, but if you were to answer one question: would you die for Jesus?
