Anyone who says the "Road to Life" is easy, isn't on the road to Life.
The road to life is not easy...the gate is narrow, and few find it or enter in.
Most people (including most "Christians") take the easy road, the wide gate that leads to destruction.
It's not easy, but God never said it would be easy, only that it would be worth it.
We live a world ruled by Satan...his job is to draw you away from God. If he can get you to sin; and keep you sinning, he wins...you lose. Sin keeps you separated from God.
It may be hard to grasp, but God created both good and evil.
He created the wicked as a ransom for the righteous (Proverbs 21:18) Just as God provided the "goat" as a substitute for Isaac. Did you ever wonder why Satan is often depicted as a "Goat?"
Satan and his minions will be sacrificed in the lake of fire when God returns the earth to it's former glory...and we inherit our eternal home (note: it's not "heaven," it's heaven on earth).
Tribulation comes with the territory.
We think of "tribulation," as persecution, but the word "tribulation" in Greek, is "thlipsis," it means "pressure."
Overcoming pressure, the temptation to sin, is probably the hardest thing you will ever do, outside of dying to self.
It's impossible, without help from the Holy Spirit...and why Jesus said, "Ye must be born again."
Until you're born again, you will be easily drawn away by all that is in the world; the lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes and the pride of life, to eternal damnation.
Until you're reborn Spiritually...nothing else matters.
