Some people are under the false impression that your life will be easy if you accept Jesus into your heart. They claim everything will simply fall into place once you do. The truth is; however, that our lives as Christians won't be easy. It's not like you can live a carefree life if you accept Jesus into your heart. John 15:18-19 says, “If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated Me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you."
If you truly live for Jesus, trying earnestly to seek and obey Him, the world will hate you. Yet even throughout this, those who have Jesus in their heart can have joy throughout hardships and trials. Why? John 16:33 sums this up, "I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."
