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!
