My husband loves getting add-ons for his web browser. They do all sorts of nifty things, enhance his "user experience" and add a bit of fun to his life without fundamentally changing what's going on.
How often do we look on Christian faith as if it's an add-on to our lives? We pick the bits we like - being forgiven, going to heaven, feeling loved, and ignore the difficult parts like loving our enemies, forgiving others, living the way Jesus wants us to even when it's hard.
Making the decision to follow Jesus is not an add-on to life, it's a complete change of operating system. Everything is different, even if it takes a long time to download, update and install properly
