There seem to be many answers to this question for many people. Some may say, trying to live a sinless life is hard, some may say trying to live as Jesus lived is hard, others may say trying to turn the other cheek is hard. Personally, the hardest thing for a Christian to do is none of the above other than living the truth the way God wants you to. Finding the true way to live as a Christian is the hardest. Most Christians are so indoctrinated with church rules and regulation, and traditions taught by men of the cloth, and they become very mechanical and inhuman; lacking in the very fabric that makes them human. Jesus talks all the time about not just following a set of rules and regulation but also to have mercy, compassion, love and understanding.

What Does it Mean to Have Faith?

Faith is mentioned in the bible over 422 times, Faith defined is trust or confidence in a person or thing. The Christian theology version describes faith as trust in God and his promises as made by Christ and the Scriptures through which we are justified and saved. The opposite of faith is doubt, distrust, disbelief, and rejection. We all must have some form of faith as we face the world each day, for example we have faith in little things like our car will get us to work, or that we will receive our paycheck at the end of the week. Unfortunately some put to much confidence in a person or things that demonstrate to be unfaithful like the stock market, housing industry, careers, marriages and other “things”. Obviously we live in a fallen world and have little control over others. Is there really anything truly worthy of our faith?
