since the above question is explicitly directed towards Christians, there is no need for other people to chime in with their not-so-witty witticisms, not-so-discreet subtleties, and not-so-bright "revelations" about how all of us fundies are thoughtless drones who melt when we touch logic. I'm addressing believers here.

i think it is keeping up with god wants us to do. because with things such as peer presure that constantly comes into peoples lives, it's hard to do the right thing when there is so many people around you doing the wrong thing. you feel that its the only way to really feel excepted. and when your doing it you know your sinning. and that feeling totally sucks.

incredibly, many Christians embody the traditions of Judaism, maximum relatively the seventh day Adventists. They honor the classic previous testomony sabbath of sunset Friday to sunset Saturday and the nutritional regulations of Leviticus. and that i understand of no finished Christian Bible that does no longer incorporate the previous testomony. however the prepare of Christianity is in reality rooted interior the hot testomony that ordinary a sparkling covenant with God. the hot covenant is revealed in Jesus's words interior the Gospels. Then the 'prepare' of Christianity (how best to undertake that covenant) began with Paul and has been subtle via the church (in its relatively some varieties) for 2000 years. So while Christianity differs from its roots interior the Jewish faith, it is not fake, it is in basic terms new (relatively conversing)

Truly? Faith.
This will sum it up why:
1 Peter 1
6 In this you greatly rejoice, even though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been distressed by various trials, 7 so that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which is perishable, even though tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ; 8 and though you have not seen Him, you love Him, and though you do not see Him now, but believe in Him, you greatly rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, 9 obtaining as the outcome of your faith the salvation of your souls.

For me, the hardest part is knowing that because I'm a Christian, I have to live up to it, in thought, word, and deed. I know, as a Christian, that people are going to constantly be judging me. What if I stumble? What if I'm a hypocrite? What if I COMPLETELY turn a person off towards Christianity? I don't think I could handle that. I know that other peoples' salvation doesn't entirely hinge on my own relationship with Christ, but it sure is a lot of pressure even so.
And I'm also REALLY tired of being stereotyped because I'm a Christian.

Cultivating the fruit of the spirit under all circumstances.
Galatians 5:22 "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law"
And in the end it will prove to be a challenge to live up to Jesus words:
Mathew 24:13
but he who stands firm to the end will be saved.
(compare with rev. 2:10 and mathew 10:22)

To alway forgive and not seek for vengency. Not to disagree with evil, do nothing against but accept and forgive evil. To prayfor those you dislike. You are not to hate any as they dont know what they are doing.
If some one hit your left face, you will let you right face to be hit. And after the assult is over, you will forgive and tell him or her how hurt and wrong it was as if Jesus would had donethe same thing. Even you most trusted was going to betray you with your early notice, you will do nothin to prevent it from happening but pray for his or her well being and positive change.
Yes it is the hardest, that is why he suffer for our sin and none could do the same in the name of holy spirit.

The hardest part is within ourselves, the fact that we are just human, with human emotions. Anyone can say they believe, can live a wonderful life, but when the trials of life overcome you it becomes easy to let them take over. Either by denying the Lord or giving in to worldly pleasures. Stand fast, know that God loves all his children, even the non believers.

Separating what he said from what many people said he said.
To try to find out how to simply imitate him without getting too involved with the complicated legalism and worldly ostentation of the appointed ones ; and not necessarily also rejecting them.
PEACE

for me - holding my tongue when i get upset, frustrated or incensed and humility.
in essence - taking the road that is right versus easy.
i wouldn't give it up though. took the easy road for too long a time - it's not worth it. while sometimes i'm tempted & slip i know i can't go back.

It's thinking that you aren't good enough. And as someone who was brought up in a christian family, not experiencing what you are saved from, if that makes sense?
