Introduction
What do you value?
What is the most important thing that you have?
Where are you walking?
Because, what you value in life is what you will purse.
Where you walk is based on what you love.
Though we have many good things in this world, nothing must compare to our love for God
This message may not be the most encouraging; it may not be the message that makes you feel good, but it is God’s truth.
It is what Christ requires
God wants us to follow him.
Summary of past lessons
I.
The Call to Discipleship
Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; 2 And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.
Christ has called every Christian to follow Him
To follow Christ is to imitate Christ
Just as a child imitates his father
We must live in a constant state of imitation
Christ is the sole object of our immatation
To follow Christ is to walk in love
1 John
II.
The Cost of Discipleship
:2
Christ must be preeminent
Christ must be preeminent
preeminent - Christ is everything
Col. 1
Mark 8:34
We must Sacrifice all for Christ
Christ is the greatest example of sacrifice
\
“Because God, for Christ’s sake, has forgiven you, therefore be ye followers of God, imitators of God.
Resemble him especially in his love and pardoning goodness, as becomes those beloved by their heavenly Father.
In Christ’s sacrifice his love triumphs, and we are to consider it fully.”
- Matthew Henry
III.
The Response to Discipleship
Two Illustrations:
Luke 14:28
Our Response must be thought through
Luke 14:31-
Our Response must be intentional
“Though the disciples of Christ are not all crucified, yet they all bear their cross, and must bear it in the way of duty.
Jesus bids them count upon it, and then consider of it.
Our Savior explains this by two similitudes; the former showing that we must consider the expenses of our religion; the latter, that we must consider the perils of it.
Sit down and count the cost; consider it will cost the mortifying of sin, even the most beloved lusts.”
- Matthew Henry
Rejection must be out of the question
The Christian who neglects to follow Christ is almost worth nothing.
Ken Collier - Two choices on the shelf; pleasing God or pleasing self.
We must Disciple!!
Conclusion:
Matthew 11:
What will you do with that call?
I beg of you not to choose sin.
