Bible Answer: Hello mercy@grace2u, The price of discipleship is anything we have to let go of/or do to obey the instruction and guidance of the Word of God and the holy Spirit Death to our self. The surrender of our dreams for His dreams, our plans for His plans, our goals for His goals. I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. 2 Timothy 1:8 Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God; As believers we should also not e surprised when persecutions arise. Jesus was persecuted and falsely accused..and we must be prepared to suffer likewise. The world hates what opposes it's sinful ways. If we are light and salt, the world will hate us. Matthew 10:37 37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. Sometimes when the Holy Spirit begins to lead us, we wil find we are going in the oosite direction of people we love. We must continue the walk the Holy Spirit leads us in regardless of the pressure to turn and conform. God bless |
