Our basic desire is to live the life that comes to us naturally. It is difficult to go against our nature. The Bible stands at the pivot point of our life. The farther away we get from the Bible, the easier it is to live a Godless existence. However, the opposite is also true. The closer we get to the Bible; reading it, meditating on it, and allowing it to speak to us, the easier it is to forsake godlessness and to live a Christ-centered life.
It is impossible to be a student of the Bible and live a self-centered life. It is equally impossible to remain close to God without a substantial investment of time in God's word. Just going to church won't do it. Watching christian television won't do it. If you desire to make living for God easy, spend time in God's word and allow it to recreate your nature. But watch out, your definition of easy might change!
