It seems like every time I take a step in the right direction, I get sidetracked. I get excited about reading my Bible and convince myself to read it every night, and then I always seem to find something "better" to do. Other times, God shows me some sin in my life that I hadn't seen before, and as I try to improve in that area, another old struggle comes back and hits me from behind. I guess what I'm saying is that doing the right thing and living for God is hard. That's why the Bible tells us that we should serve God with all our heart, mind, and strength. We aren't expected to be perfect. That's what Jesus' blood is for. But we are expected to give it our best shot and become more and more like Christ every day.
As Christians, God wants us to strive to be like Him. This should be a reflection of God's work in our hearts, not an act to work our way into heaven. While we are still on this earth, we can't reach perfection, but we can do our best and keep going in the right direction through God's grace.
By the way, I didn't say why we should do this before. Obeying God through our lives is an act of worship. When we try to live like Jesus, we are giving God glory.
