If we find that living for God, or being a Christian is "hard", then it is obvious that we are doing something wrong. I was once with a sect that made living for God a hard task. "Don't do this, to have that, don't go there...don't...don't". Seems to me it was a "can't do" religion. It was a religion all about "things". The Bible speaks of this as "will worship". (Taste not, touch not, handle not).
The Bible puts only 5 rules on the Gentile Church:
1. Don't eat meat offered to idols.
2. Don't eat meat from animals strangled.
3. Don't commit fornication (unmarried sex).
4. Don't eat or drink blood.
5. Remember the poor.
You know what? I don't have a problem with this list! The biggest mistake people make about living for God, is they make a list, instead of living by the new Life within. The new life within becomes your awakened conscience. The new Life within becomes your power to walk in light and not in darkness. If living for God is hard, it is obvious you are doing something wrong. Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees (doctrines of men) because they make living for God hard. His yoke is easy and burden light. You shall know the truth and that will make you FREE!
