You Get What You Pay For

Many of us are committed to something or someone until it costs us—and we do the same thing with our faith. Camillo Buchanan teaches that while the world has led us to believe that we can have things without sacrifice, Jesus tells us that we are to follow Him and die to Him daily for His glory.

Scripture References

25Large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and turning to them he said:

“If anyone comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters—yes, even their own life—such a person cannot be my disciple.

And whoever does not carry their cross and follow me cannot be my disciple.

“Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Won’t you first sit down and estimate the cost to see if you have enough money to complete it?

23Then he said to them all:

“Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.

For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will save it.

7For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.

15For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin.
