So therefore, any one of you who does not renounce all that he has cannot be my disciple
The question is asked from our heart at some point in our life – What is the cost of following Jesus Christ? We then come up with a list of do’s and don’ts, rights and wrongs, and perceived changes required in our life. The fact is there is no cost at all – it is all blessing. God our Father says come onto me all who are burdened and He will give us rest. He says He will never leave us or forsake us. He will guide our path. He will be our strength. He will prepare a place for us in heaven. He will fill our heart with peace, joy, hope, faith, love, mercy, grace, giving, strength……. and above all He will give us eternal life to be with Him forever. Give all of your life to Him for there is truly no eternal cost.
Matthew 19:29
And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or lands, for my name’s sake, will receive a hundredfold and will inherit eternal life. But many who are first will be last, and the last first
Matthew 25:34
Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me. ’ Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink

So therefore, any one of you who does not renounce all that he has cannot be my disciple
Philippians 3:7
But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ. Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord
