can believing in god make your life easier?

Answer 1

Jesus can provide peace and hope, but He never promised an easy life. Christians still face struggles, hardships, and temptations, but we have the strength in Christ to press through them.

Psalm 85:8
I will listen to what God the LORD will say; he promises peace to his people, his saints— but let them not return to folly.

Proverbs 16:7
When a man's ways are pleasing to the LORD, he makes even his enemies live at peace with him.

Romans 12:12 (Whole Chapter)
Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.

Romans 5:1-8
Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.
You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Romans 15:13
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Ephesians 1:17-21
I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come.

Answer 2

I think that a belief in God sends us on a mission (or purpose for living) to come to know Him. Living for that real purpose gives our lives real meaning. That mission may involve many hardships.

So the return question for you is, is life "easier without hardships and without a purpose" or is life "easier with hardships and with purpose"? In other words, does having a purpose for living outweigh hardships?

Finally, is longevity a factor in your question? Is a short but merry life better than a long but not so merry one?

Answer 3

ABSOLUTELY cuz when you believe in Christ, actually believe and faith you're giving all your burdens to him and understanding that everythiing is alright =]
