Being a Christian is hard in this world today, but to serve God Almighty is very rewarding and the promises to come are the sweetest thing I can imagine. I am glad that God chose me, so yes, I like being a Christian. |

It is not easy being a Christian. Nothing worthwhile,ever is. But the rewards will pay off one day, if we remain faithful. I don't understand all that I need to, but God does, and that is all that matters. I am to trust Him in all things. Not easy but we walk by faith and not by sight. And when we stumble,God is there to forgive us and take care of us when we repent.
Living as a Christian is the only life worth living. The world has nothing worthwhile to offer us. Nothing but deception,torment and pain. I trust God. I choose God. |

O for a thousand tongues to sing
My great Redeemers praise,
The glories of my God and King,
The triumphs of His grace!
My gracious Master and my God,
Assist me to proclaim,
To spread through all the earth abroad
The honors of Thy name.
Jesus! the name that charms our fears,
That bids our sorrows cease,
Tis music in the sinners ears,
Tis life, and health, and peace.
He breaks the power of canceled sin,
He sets the prisoner free,
His blood can make the foulest clean,
His blood availed for me.
He speaks, and, listening to His voice,
New life the dead receive,
The mournful, broken hearts rejoice,
The humble poor believe.

its not a matter of liking.its a matter of believing jesus.surely the apostles were christians,and their lives were filled with persecution.Its a matter of LOVING GOD AND EVERYONE ELSE,even your enemies. |

its a matter of choice. jesus promised that we would be persecuted for our faith just as he was persecuted. |

Being a Christian is the best thing to have happened to my life. It gives me peace and removed a lot of worries from my mind/life. It is no longer "he/you/she/they say/said ...", it is now God/The Lord says/said...QED. |

Yes yes yes....
i enjoy being a christian... nothing would have been better
Why?
because being a christian has saved me from a lot of the mess i have seen around
the Holy Spirit's direction has saved me from going through drug problems, immorality due to financial problems and the haunting memory of past events that some associates of mine are being faced with
God saved me early enough to enable me escape all of that.... i am trully thankful |

Definitely! I've had trials and troubles and illness and misfortune as a Christian. But life has been much more worthwhile, much more deeply satisfying than before I was a Christian. I can honestly say I would not want to go back to the non-Christian life for anything! |

It's GOOD to be. I've been out to partake the things of this world. For which the god of this world(satan) has control of many things that pertains to to glamor & glitter,
worldly pleasures etc,ALL to take a peoples mind Off & away from the True & Rightful things that pertain to God. You canNot serve 2 masters,you either serve Almighty God or, the things that pertain the devil. God Is strict(this even includes Holy-Living) & you canNot straddle the fence. |

Yes I enjoy being a Christian because it's the only thing I've ever done that I didn't do...Yeah I know hard to follow right?
Look at it this way, God gives a new heart to love his commands and his ways and all we had to do in this was agree with him that he was good and we weren't while asking for forgiveness. Behind the scenes we know that God led us to that moment and that he ordains good works for us before the foundation of the world. So all of my being a Christian is HIS, HIS, and again HIS, yet there's a part of me that "participates in the divine nature" of God.
To my amazement I realize that without what he did I'd never take part or desire to take part in any of it, It really all does begin and end with him. |

Yes, but I don't think its necessarily being called a Christian that brings one enjoyment. It's being relational with the Creator of the universe, getting to know the Lord and allowing him to know me, receiving his love and loving him back. |
|
---Vicki on 5/12/09 |
Yes, because I feel a closeness with God. I talk to God during trying times sometimes and He is there for me through good and bad times. |
|
---amand6348 on 5/12/09 |
The answer is yes. However as I was reading the question I was reminded of what a person once said about me, when asked by another what he thought of me he said, well he is okay I guess but he sure cries a lot.
Before I was saved I never remember crying over anybody. |

Words cannot express the joy i have in knowing the Lord. The changes in my life go beyond what i could of ever forseen.
Thank you Lord. |

Yes or my leadership would not allow me to sing in choir! Yes or I would not be here, I survived a large stroke. Doctors thought if I ever woke up from coma(I was not in coma.) I would never get out of bed, I would be a vegatable. Praying in my head, God this is too hard they will not even let me sleep! The bucking bed rolled me every 20 minutes. I decided to get out of bed, of course I fell I did not know I had a stroke. So the next day when I woke up, finally got some sleep. I was strapped down. 33 days after stroke they had me walk up and down a hill to prove I could go home. Christian is being Christ like I believe God can do anything we expect him to do. |

People "ENJOY"/like "BEING A CHRISTIAN" because of PRIDE. They LIKE being a "famous"/accomplished "study scholar" and have the ambition to be "Christian of the year" because of status/prestige. So, if you have fun and "enjoy" loving God, then you are doing it all wrong (because pride is misleading you).
If you look deeper into scripture (the "depths of God", 1 Corinthians 2:10) and have the "fruit of light" (Ephesians 5:8), then you will learn how NOT to let VAIN ego (pride) interfere in your relationship/devotion. |

I love being a Christian. As a Christian I have Jesus,God, & the Holy Ghost living in me which makes me a Supernatural child of the King. I love praying,intercessary prayer,singing praises,talking to God,learning my Lord God's Word,sharing with others,having a life guided by God,God moving through me in the Gifts of the Spirit,and all that means I'm no longer only a mortal. I love being used of God for the Kingdom's sake and ministering to my Brothers and Sisters in Christ. The whole package God has for His Children is much more to be desired than anything on this Earth. |

Yes, because there is nothing better than having fellowship with other believers. Anytime we have fellowship, whether in church, at our home or someone else's home, we leave with a warm feeling in our hearts. The joy of the Lord is our strength. Our serving the Lord makes HIM joyous. |

---SusieB on 5/11/09 |
Yes, I like being a Christian. Living by God's grace is simple. I enjoy telling other people about God and his ways. That is WHY we're on this planet -- to spread the Good News!
Most, if not all, of us know that life in this world is not always easy. Even though we are living for God, he still PERMITS sin to exist and dealing with the results of sin can be a challenge. I take comfort in the fact that these challenges are what help me grow closer to God. Amen. |

When I think that God the Son, Creator of everything loved ME sooo much that He came to this earth, lived in poverty, suffered such a shameful death for MY sin, and then gave me the right to be called a son of God, I can't help but "like being a christian" regardless of the "cost to me". Our God is so awesome! |

I am not going to lie. Sometimes the things that you have to face being a christian can be rough. But through it all, the joy about being a christian is that you know that God will never leave you. And the ending result is eternal life in Heaven. Where there will be no more dying, crying, sickness, pain. where the wicked will cease from troubling and the weary would be at rest. where we will have a new and changed mind. thats the joy of being a christian. I wouldnt trade it for the world. God has proven himself so many times to me. When I fail, he still is there to pick me up and comfort me. I love being a Christian. It's the best thing that ever happened to me |

Being in God's will, and fellowshipping with other believers, reading His Love Letter, in the Bible, learning more about Him, what is not to like? |
|
---Trish9863 on 5/11/09 |
"Do you like being a Christian and why?"
What I like is discipleship. Why? Love is a beautiful thing.
I appreciate and enjoy the indwelling presence of Christ.
A presence which motivates and empowers the desire, ability, tendency and opportunity to uplift, edify, and benefit, as an extension of His mercy and grace, my fellow man, and to thereby receive the privilege of experiencing a sense of sharing and a purpose in life that transcends my own personal and/or selfish ambitions. |
