“To be, or not to be: that is the question:” This famous line was an over-dramatized consideration of suicide written over 400 years ago. (Hamlet: Act 3, Scene 1.) Still, it is a good question to ask; not from the view of whether you should take your life but to question how alive you really are. To be or not to be? Am I alive or not? Am I living to the fullest or just taking up space? There was a time when I didn’t know Christ. I didn’t read His Word and I made no effort to pattern my life after Him. Christianity looked like a burden to me, more rules and restrictions to pile on the ones I already had. No thanks. But what I didn’t understand was how following the ways of the Bible could set me free from the sin that was ruining my life. Christianity comes with restrictions. There are things you cannot do and expect to be right with God. “Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God.” 1 Corinthians 6:9-10. If you love sin, you will hate the Bible. If you are fed up with sin, Christ has a way to change your world for the better. The boundaries in scripture are there to give life, not take it away. “Instruct them to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous and ready to share, storing up for themselves the treasure of a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of that which is life indeed.” 1 Timothy 6:18-19. “Life indeed.” Real living. That is what following Jesus offers you. So, to be or not to be. Will you let Christ show you a greater life? That is, indeed, the question.
