The Cost of Believing

    The cost, the price, paid for every believer, was paid in

full at the cross. Jesus Christ’s death on the cross and every

drop of His precious blood, paid the price for sin.For all of
eternity everyones freedom from sin was bought.

    Our only repayment, for the sacrifice that Jesus paid, is to

accept Him as Lord and Savior, that is just the beginning of 

our service to the King of Kings. Jesus wants all of me. Jesus

wants all of you. The more of ourselves, we give, the greater

our freedom from sin.
    The price of serving Jesus is different for everyone, 

depending on what each of us is called to give. Some of us 

will face ridicule and persecution, some of us will face execution,

some have watched and prayed as their family was taken from 

them. Jesus never promised us an easy road, but He did 

promise that He would walk with us every step of the way.

    Only John, the apostle, lived to die of old age. The others Apostles

were all killed in one grisly way or another. Peter was crucified

upside down because he requested it. Peter didn’t consider

himself worthy of dying like Christ. Most of the apostles were

beheaded for their faith.

    This still goes on today, people can choose to renounce

Christianity and live or continue to believe in Christ and die.

While most of us will never be faced with this gruesome choice,

still we must be prepared for it. We never know when our lives

might be required for The Masters service.
