We cannot decide whether or not we will live or die; we can only decide what we will die for.
Bob Pierce.
Being a disciple comes at a cost.
Jesus must be first (Luke 14, 25, 26)
We have to be willing to suffer for Christ, which means to deny ourselves, take up our cross and follow Him. We have to be ready to face ridicule and persecution as we lead Godly lives in an ungodly world (2 Timothy 3:12)
We need to forsake everything to follow Jesus. This involves taking an informed decision (Luke 14: 28-30). Jesus is to be King and nothing can take precedence over Him and His will for us.
