The cost of discipleship quotes
I will show him how much he must suffer for My name (1 Thessalonians 3:3).
I will show him how much he must suffer for My name (Acts 9:16).
A parable about the cost of discipleship is found in Luke 14:25-31 – Jesus says to a large crowd, '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? For if you lay the foundation and are not able to finish it, everyone who sees it will ridicule you, saying, 'This person began to build and wasn't able to finish.'
If a commission by an earthly king is considered an honour, how can a commission by the Heavenly King be considered a sacrifice? (David Livingstone).
Salvation is free, but discipleship will cost you your life (Dietrich Bonhoeffer).
Christ demands first place in everything. And you have to come to Christ realising you'll have to pay a price (Billy Graham).
Jesus promised his disciples three things—they would be completely fearless, absurdly happy, and in constant trouble ( G.K. Chesterton).
The biggest threat to the church today is fans who call themselves Christians but aren't actually interested in following Christ. They want to be close enough to Jesus to get all the benefits but not so close that it requires anything from them (Kyle Idleman).
Obedience: Persecution is not something the world will ever understand. But then, they cannot. They cannot discern spiritual things. But as Christians, we must not shy away from persecution. For Christians, persecution, the cost of following Jesus, is as normal as breathing. Now, the question: Does your following Christ cost you anything?
