1 | Does following cost? | Luke 14:33 | Emmaus | 79667 | ||
I think there is a cost to following Christ. It is taking up our cross and following Him. Romans 8:17-23 17"and if children, then heirs, heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if only we suffer with him so that we may also be glorified with him. 18 I consider that the sufferings of this present time are as nothing compared with the glory to be revealed for us. 19 For creation awaits with eager expectation the revelation of the children of God; 20 for creation was made subject to futility, not of its own accord but because of the one who subjected it, in hope 21 that creation itself would be set free from slavery to corruption and share in the glorious freedom of the children of God. 22 We know that all creation is groaning in labor pains even until now; 23 and not only that, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, we also groan within ourselves as we wait for adoption, the redemption of our bodies." Emmaus |

2 | Does following cost? | Luke 14:33 | imuvhim | 79685 | ||
Very good verse. The verses in my Bible says the King had to count the costs of making a tower before he began. Is costs to be taught to the sinner before someone responds or is that done after? Is that your real name or does it mean something? Thanks |

3 | Does following cost? | Luke 14:33 | Emmaus | 79692 | ||
I think Christ in His preaching made the cost clear before, but sometimes even His disciples did not seem to get the message.Matt 16:24; 20:22-23. But He also made it clear that compared to the bondage of sin His yoke was easy. SO I think people should be taught before and while their journey is ongoing. That is one of the functions of the Church. See again Romans 8:18. Emmaus Emmaus |

How one answers imuvhim's question would depend in part on how one defines "disciple/discipleship". In addition to what I previously posted, I also agree with you: "I think people should be taught before and while their journey is ongoing." |
