“So likewise, whoever of you does not forsake all that he has cannot be My disciple.” Luke 14:33

Jesus uses many examples in Luke 14 to explain you must be willing to give up all including even your life to be His disciple.

If you are planning to make a big decision, you need to evaluate the cost, the requirements and your inner core values so that your decision will lead to a rewarding end.

This relates to making a decision for Jesus. Are you really willing to let go of everything in your life to follow Him? This includes all those things you hold dearest to your heart.

God does not want a luke warm commitment from you. He wants all of you! You have to be willing to deny yourself and the world you live in and follow Him.

This involves where you live, your possessions, your family, and the direction of your life. This commitment will change your thinking patterns, habits, and your priorities in life. You will become a new person!

So before you decide for Jesus, ask yourself about the cost of this decision and what needs to happen inside you to make this a rewarding end? What do you need to let go of to become a disciple of Jesus?

God has pardoned you from all your sins so you can live for Him and not for self! The cost of accepting the cross is to crucify yourself so you can be His disciple!

The outcome of your decision will not relate to results but to your loyalty and faith in God. You lose your life for the life of God!
