Because if you’re trying to be a Christian,

I am not trying - I AM!

People think mit's SO hard to 'be' one.

So many 'rules & regulations' to follow and obey...

John 6:28-29 (niv)

Then they asked him, “What must we do to do the works God requires?”

Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.”

1 John 3:21-24

  Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God and receive from him anything we ask, because we keep his commands and do what pleases him.  And this is his command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us.  The one who keeps God’s commands lives in him, and he in them. And this is how we know that he lives in us: We know it by the Spirit he gave us.

Amen!!

It's ALL about JESUS, The Son, who was sent to the world by His Father/ALMIGHTY GOD who became flesh for us.

JESUS IS THE WORD! Believe on HIM/believe in the ONE - HE/FATHER GOD has sent!

because we keep His commands and do what pleases Him.

Yes, pleases HIM and not 'people pleasers'. Hear and obey HIM and not man. (man made teachings - that make HIS Word void).
