Mark 8:34-35 (NLT) “If any of you wants to be my follower, you must put aside your selfish ambition, shoulder your cross, and follow me. If you try to keep your life for yourself, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake and for the sake of the Good News, you will find true life.”

John 16:33 (NLT) “Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.”

Matthew 24:9 (NLT) “Then you will be arrested, persecuted, and killed. You will be hated all over the world because of your allegiance to me.”

Luke 14:26-27, 33 (NLT) “If you want to be my follower you must love me more than your own father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters--yes, more than your own life. Otherwise, you cannot be my disciple. And you cannot be my disciple if you do not carry your own cross and follow me.”… So no one can become my disciple without giving up everything for me.”

“If that’s the way God wants it to be, I’m ready to die for the salvation of the Aucas.” ~ Jim Elliot “If that’s the way God wants it to be, I’m ready to die for the salvation of the Aucas.” ~ Jim Elliot

Matthew 10:39 (NLT) “If you cling to your life, you will lose it; but if you give it up for me, you will find it.”

Daniel 3:17-18 (NLT) “If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God whom we serve is able to save us. He will rescue us from your power, Your Majesty. But even if he doesn’t, Your Majesty can be sure that we will never serve your gods or worship the gold statue you have set up.”

Accepting the future regardless of the cost. BEING A DISCIPLE MEANS…

Luke 9:57-58 (NLT) As they were walking along someone said to Jesus, "I will follow you no matter where you go." But Jesus replied, "Foxes have dens to live in, and birds have nests, but I, the Son of Man, have no home of my own, not even a place to lay my head." As they were walking along someone said to Jesus, "I will follow you no matter where you go." But Jesus replied, "Foxes have dens to live in, and birds have nests, but I, the Son of Man, have no home of my own, not even a place to lay my head."

Leaving the past regardless of the pull. BEING A DISCIPLE MEANS…

Matthew 4:19-20 (NLT) Jesus called out to them, "Come, be my disciples…" And they left their nets at once and went with him.

Seizing the moment regardless of the inconveniences. BEING A DISCIPLE MEANS…

Ephesians 5:15-17 (CEV) Act like people with good sense and not like fools. These are evil times, so make every minute count. Don't be stupid. Instead, find out what the Lord wants you to do.

When Jesus died for you, it was an all or nothing thing. And when you live for Him, it’s also an all or nothing thing. When Jesus died for you, it was an all or nothing thing. And when you live for Him, it’s also an all or nothing thing.
