Hello . What's it worth to ya'?
I want to know Christ and experience the mighty power that raised him from the dead. I want to suffer with him, sharing in his death, so that one way or another I will experience the resurrection from the dead! Philippians 3:10-11 NLT.
Is knowing Jesus important to you?
If it is, then you'd get your nose in the Bible and find out who He truly is, what promises He makes, and if His resurrection indeed occurred. And if all that is true, then that would cause a real life-changing event for you. So right now, is He truly your Lord, is He your friend, is He your king, is He your Savior?
Do you want to experience the power of the resurrection for yourself?
Incredibly, many folks have no desire for this. It's as if they want only this life and give no real consideration to the most essential life - the life after this one. If your resurrection is crucial to you, then you find out what it takes to obtain salvation, salvation from hell, from God's wrath, from sin, and salvation from self. You'd be living the life of Jesus' disciple.
What's it worth to ya'?
Are these things worth the price of your life? Jesus said it was. It will cost you everything to know the power of your resurrection. It costs you everything to be His disciple, to walk with Him along the narrow Christian way. You'll give up every denominational view of the Bible and refer to the Bible only for your spiritual walk. As a result, you'll draw near to God in love and life. You'll need to take time to consider the value of these things in your life. It's well worth the investment.Father, life is in You. Life so good that we cannot imagine it in our mortal form is in You through Jesus. We praise You for Your indescribable goodness, Your mercy, love, grace, and compassion. You are our God, and we gratefully submit our soul to You. In Your Son's name, amen!
