LUKE 14:26- "IF ANYONE COMES TO ME AND DOES NOT HATE HIS FATHER AND MOTHER, HIS WIFE AND CHILDREN, HIS BROTHERS AND SISTERS, YES, EVEN HIS OWN LIFE, HE CANNOT BE MY DISCIPLE."

LUKE 14:33- "IN THE SAME WAY, ANY OF YOU WHO DOES NOT GIVE UP EVERYTHING HE HAS, CANNOT BE MY DISCIPLE."

3. FOLLOWING JESUS MUST BE OUR FIRST PRIORITY, ABOVE OUR FAMILY, CAREER, COMFORT, EVEN OUR OWN LIFE.

4. WE MUST BE WILLING TO FORSAKE ANYTHING THAT CAN HINDER OUR WALK WITH CHRIST.

5. PHILIPPIANS 3: 7-9- "BUT WHATEVER WAS TO MY PROFIT I NOW CONSIDER LOSS FOR THE SAKE OF CHRIST OF CHRIST. WHAT IS MORE, I CONSIDER EVERTHING A LOSS COMPARED TO THE SURPASSING GREATNESS OF KNOWING CHRIST JESUS MY LORD, FOR WHOSE SAKE I HAVE LOST ALL THINGS. I CONSIDER THEM RUBBISH, THAT I MAY GAIN CHRIST AND BE FOUND IN HIM.

PLEASE FEEL FREE TO BUILD ON THIS STUDY BY ADDING ON SCRITURES THAT TALK ABOUT THE COST OF TRUE DISCIPLESHIP.

LET US PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER! HAVE A BLESSED DAY!
