The Cost | Robby Williams
The journey of following Jesus involves transformation through immersion in God's Word, which serves as our standard for living. As believers draw closer to God, areas of their lives that don't glorify Him become increasingly apparent - similar to how a home inspection reveals flaws not visible in photographs. This awareness isn't meant to condemn but to convict us of needed changes. Jesus presents two distinct calls: to non-believers, He says 'come and see,' inviting them to discover who He is; to believers, He says 'come and die,' challenging them to deny themselves, take up their cross daily, and follow Him. While salvation comes freely through grace (Ephesians 2:8-9), discipleship requires a total commitment. The uncomfortable truth is that following Jesus means surrendering control of our lives, potentially facing rejection from a world that values comfort, possessions, and popularity. When Christians truly follow Jesus, they often find themselves at odds with cultural norms. The abundant Christian life isn't found in negotiating with God about which parts of our lives we'll surrender, but in complete submission - presenting ourselves as 'living sacrifices' daily. This means allowing God to direct every aspect of our lives: where we go, what we do, what we say, and what we give up. Although this level of surrender may seem costly, it's actually the path to the full, abundant life that Jesus promised. As Dietrich Bonhoeffer noted, 'Salvation is free, but discipleship will cost you your life.' The paradox remains: when we try to save our lives, we lose them; when we lose our lives for Christ's sake, we truly find them.
Our mission is to multiply God’s Kingdom through being and making disciples everywhere.
Be. Make. Multiply.
