A woman rushed up to famed violinist Fritz Kreisler after a concert and cried: “I’d give my life to play as beautifully as you do.”
Kreisler replied, “I did.”
What did it take to have our sins forgiven? What did it take for the Apostles to follow the great commission? What did it cost the signers of the Declaration of Independence to put their names on that document? Did you ever gaze at a picture of the Americans buried at Normandy?
My subject is cost. What does the Bible have to say? Glad you asked.
1 Corinthians 6:19-20
Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.
1 Corinthians 7:23
You were bought at a price; do not become slaves of human beings.
Are you afraid of the cost? Give it some consideration.
