Cover Letter For A Jewelery Store

it hard to live as a Christian?

I would like to quote from a little book by Watchman Nee.


For many Christians, a major effort

new converts often beat around with many problems. If you teach them that they need to live a good Christian life to be a good testimony for the Lord, that they love the world and resist the temptation should and suffering as well and to carry the cross, have they the will to seek God's

and learn to obey him and so can,

then it inevitable that it be such a life very stressful fi. keep


Many believers there are in fact for a very difficult, even very strenuous affair, to live a Christian life, do they have to have daily struggle, sigh a lot and work hard, and then to fail yet, and the

Lord by some Dishonor ready when they should actually be a good witness to him.


I tell you, many have grown weary in their Christianity, and it is only natural that in them finally fix the feeling that the Christian life is really a burden.

Many want to honestly show the sin of themselves, but they lack the strength to do and therefore they have no peace within himself.

Or they want to be patient and not quite capable of it, but always roar again, so that they always walk around with a bad conscience.


they lack the strength to love, and hate it holds in the greatest discontent.

What a hardship, being a Christian! For them it is like a man who wants to climb with very heavy bags on the back of a mountain and it never creates.

A true labor of Sisyphus! They often have committed a sigh: "When I was still incredulous

, I was difficult at the burden of my sins. But after I became a believer

am, I carry almost more difficult at the burden of my holiness "


Only Christ can be a Christian -. Not I

Under such conditions it would be utterly absurd to teach people to want to be a Christian. The man is absolutely unfit for such a life.


Because we say but the word of the Lord that we are no longer living, but Christ living in us, it is consequently not we have to be Christian.


This is the secret of the Christian life.

I can not be a Christian, but only the Christ in me. If you had to be a Christian, that would be an unspeakable trouble and a bitter thing, patience and love to apply to practice meekness and humility, to mourn and to take up the cross.

But if Christ is - and that he lives in you - is then practice patience and love, who even passion and cross, only joy.


Very good sermon by Hartwig Henkel unreinforced recommend on this topic
