2 paths, 2 choices.
You either choose to follow God's way, or the way of the world.
and that's scary because there's no way in between it.
It's a way leading to life and a way leading to death.
A normal textbook answer would obviously be choosing to follow God's way, and it should be that way.
But things are usually easier said than done.
By following God's way, it's the total opposite to living as how the world lives.
And we're all living in the same world, but opposing how the majority people lived, there's suffering and judgement of others that you would have to go through because of choosing God's way.
Isn't suffering for Christ counted as a blessing after what He'd done on the cross for you?
Without it, you probably wouldn't be here, living life as it is now.
Two thousand years ago at Calvary, a sinless, man, the Son of God was treated like a criminal. In fact he suffered the worst punishment that was ever made for a criminal. Imagine an innocent man, being punished for the crimes of the world. And for that reason, we are to be grateful. And for that reason, we are to submit our whole life to Him, for He was the one who redeemed our life, not for ourselves, but to glorify His name.
Choosing God way is hard, and it's a tough path that I'm still struggling with. But everyday, I thank Him, for waking me up. No matter how difficult or bad my day had went, Christ had suffered more than I ever will suffer in my lifetime.
"For He first chose us."
