What It Costs To Be A Sinner Luke 14:25-33

There Ain’t No Such Thing As A Free Lunch TANSTAAFL There Ain’t No Such Thing As A Free Lunch

The Cost Is Condemnation God has “drawn the line” between the Christian and the sinner (Rom. 8:1) While those in sin seem to be happy, it is a sham to hide the unrest of the soul (Isa. 57:20, 21)

It Costs The Blessings Enjoyed By A Christian The sinner misses spiritual blessings (Eph. 1:3) Cannot put things in proper perspective {has no perspective} (2 Cor. 4:17) What about turning to God (1 Peter 3:10-12)?

It Costs Hope Some have no hope because of sin (Eph. 2:12; cf. 2:1) God, who cannot lie, has caused hope to rest in His promise (Titus 1:2)

It Costs Missing Christ’s Acknowledgment Here are some sad words to those who think they have done well (Matt. 7:21-23) We must live according to the law of Christ in order to gain the prize (1 Thess. 4:1)

It Costs The Forfeiture Of Eternal Life If you miss heaven, you have missed it all (2 Thess. 1:7, 8) Eternal punishment is a terrible dividend for a life of sin (Rev. 14:9-11)
