If you are actually expected to say, live as Christ lived, and live according to his teachings, that would be a very hard life.
Tod, it's not a hard life. It's the easiest life you could imagine. Jesus said, "...my yoke is easy and my burden is light." (Matthew 11:30) I know it seems as though it should be the opposite, but it's not.
His spirit within me makes me want to live like Him. No, not just want... I thirst for it... I hunger after it.

And what are all those things worth? Absolutely nothing. Our joy is not in possessions, but in the Lord.

Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. --Hebrews 11:1
