[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If it's "work" is it really belief?  Are you truly faithful? [/quote]

Of course it is. Do you actually think the path of following Christ is supposed to be "easy?"  Is that what you're looking for?  A simple answer?[/quote]

It's not just following the path that is hard -- it's believing in Christianity.  Mark 9:24New King James Version (NKJV) --  “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!”

Some of the most devout Christians through history have struggled with unbelief -- Mother Teresa experienced a long "dark night of the soul" but continued her work with the dying poor.

Christians who are going through periods of doubt are encouraged to act as if they believe, in the hopes that belief will return.  Sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't, but it's important to keep trying to believe.  The stakes are so high.

If makes you wonder why god makes it so hard for some people to believe the one thing that will bring them salvation, but God's ways are not our ways.  There are mysteries we won't understand until after we die.
