Have you ever asked yourself "Why bother?" People ask themselves that all the time. Christians should also ask themselves this.
Why bother coming to church if you don't let the preaching change you? Why bother coming to church if all you do is criticize the brethren? Why bother pretending to be a Christian when you're heart is in the world? Why bother praying when you don't think God is listening? Why bother reading your Bible if you aren't going to do what it says? Why bother soul winning when you don't care if people go to hell or not?
There are many questions that Christians should ask themselves when it comes to their walk with Christ. You need to look at your heart and your relationship with the Lord and see why you bother doing the things that you do as a Christian.
Why should a Christian bother living right?
II Corinthians 5:14 is the answer for why we do what we do. It should be because we love Jesus Christ. It should be because Christ loves us!
I'm a King James Bible believing sinner saved by the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ! I was raised by a good mother and I went to a KJV church growing up. I am a mother of 5 lovely children and am married to a crazy Cajun for 20 years now! I think bow ties are cool, and grey hairs are like tinsle for your head. I admire those who do right no matter the cost, and wish to avoid those who would compromise the truth.
Sometimes the devil doesn't tempt us with evil; sometimes he allures us with good, distracts us with obligations, confuses us with compromise, or hinders us with business to keep us from that which is best- service to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! Remember, the devil always offers his best, before Christ will offer His will for your life.
