There are many who intend to follow Christ, but who will not bear pick up the cross of suffering for His Name! Some will profess to be believers in Christ for a little while…. but then when they begin to suffer for His Name, they draw back! And so, COUNT THE COST, before you INTEND to follow me and be my disciple…. count the cost, before you profess to believe me and my Word, and suffer because of me! When it comes to family, friends, possessions, earthly and perishing things in this present world coming between you and your love to Christ, you must be willing to forsake all. |
