Joshua 24:15

If it seems evil to you to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell.  But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.

When we choose to serve God, we draw a line in the sand for the guidance of our belief system. Christianity is a belief system modeled by God and His word.  A God who modeled love by the sending of Jesus to die for our sins.  Serving the Lord shouldn’t be considered a burden but a blessing for on this earth and eternity.  Jesus said His “yoke was easy and His burden light.”  Your life and the goodness it could contain depends on this choice.
