Someone said to me, righteousness is very hard and I asked why she said so, and she said all the temptations from the world make it hard to obey God’s word totally and be righteous. Then I replied it’s easier to live righteously than to live sinfully; it takes more strength to do evil and live sinfully than it takes to do live righteously.
How is that possible she asked? Then I said, in living righteously, you don’t live by your strength but by God’s strength which is always available and sufficient for any one that wants to live righteously and has surrendered to the Lordship of Christ Jesus.
The reason we say righteousness is costly to achieve is because we try it with the strength of the flesh or by an unregenerated heart. Carnality can’t give birth to holy-living its only the Holy Ghost’s grace that makes Holiness an easy fit for us.
Christ told the disciples with man is impossible to be Holy but with God, is so so easy to be Holy.
If you are struggling with living righteously is because you are not using the power of the HolyGhost but trying by your own accord.
Is possible and very easy not to sin, those that says that is impossible to live a day without sinning doesn’t know God’s word or the power of God. Infact the bible says He that is born of the Lord doesn’t sin because the seed of God (grace to live righteously) is in him (1Jo 3:9).
But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible. Mt 19:26
When you are born of God, sin becomes the impossible, the very difficult to do; Holiness becomes easier to be and unrighteousness difficult.
God bless you
