The easy way out


Just like it is impossible to have a successful marriage without sacrifice, it is also impossible to keep a pact with God without sacrifice.
You have to sacrifice your will, sacrifice to carry the weight of the cross and sacrifice to walk in the footsteps of Jesus day after day until death.
A Pact, alliance, partnership or marriage requires surrender, dedication and loyalty.
In other words, faith and love.
Besides Calvary, the Lord Jesus continues sacrificing, by tolerating our daily mistakes and weaknesses.
The renunciation of our free will should exist on our part, we should bear the cross of rejection from the children of the world and walk in His footsteps day after day.
Is it easy?
No, it is not.
But who said anything about it being easy to conquer the Kingdom of Heaven?
Jesus warns that narrow is gate, difficult is the way and few will find it. Matthew 7.14
He also said that from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force. Matthew 11.12
Therefore, whoever thinks that Jesus has already sacrificed and they no longer need to sacrifice is also going to hell, even though they believe in Jesus.
The Kingdom of Heaven is not for the indolent, lazy or those looking for the easy way out.
