Being a Christian has a price, but not following Jesus has a much higher price.
Luke 9:23, And He said to all, if anyone would come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow Me.
Luke 14:27, Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple.
Taking up the cross in following Christ, simply means that you live according to God's will, in your everyday life, with all its disappointments as well as blessings. Take one day at a time.
In today's world, the name of Jesus is cursed by the vast majority of people, even in the US. People who follow Christ are ridiculed, persecuted, even killed. Governments are even guilty of trying to destroy the right of Christians to worship God, especially Jesus.
Such concentrated hate can only be caused by satan poisoning men's hearts. What these followers of satan do not realize is, Jesus conquered satan with His death and Resurrection. They are following the ultimate loser.
Revelation 20:2, and he seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil and satan, and bound him for a thousand years.
Revelation 20:10, And the devil who had deceived them was thrown into the Lake of Fire and sulfur where the beast and the false prophet were, and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.
It is a sad thing that so many people do not recognize what is before them.. If you read the Book of Revelation, look at what is going on in the world and do not think twice before rejecting Jesus, you are the most unfortunate of people. Remember this, life is somewhat of an inconvenience, but eternity is forever. Wrap your head around just what that means. I personally cannot imagine what forever actually means , but I take the Bible's word that it is a long time. God bless you and your family. Praise The Lord!
Remember Jesus loves you.
Prayer of Salvation.
Lord Jesus, please forgive all of my sins, and come into my heart as my personal savior. I want to serve Only You.
Praise The Lord!
Amen
