BQ: It's a great thing to want to be Christian, but it's a greater thing to know what that entails. What some don't realize is that being a Christian costs a lot. In fact, God says,

"Do you not know that when you present yourselves to someone as slaves for obedience, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin resulting in death, or of obedience resulting in righteousness?" (Rom 6)

Wait! Slaves? Obedience? What? God works hard for us—in fact, He worked Himself to death. It is therefore no surprise that he expresses some incredulity and says, "You have not yet resisted to the point of shedding blood in your striving against sin."  (Heb 12:4) That may be a lot to take in, but God also gives us the power to live up to it—He is both King and Comforter! Let's go for it!
