[COLOR="DarkGreen"]The Cost?
What does it cost to be a Christian?
|
Salvation..Eternal Salvation is a free gift.
The Anointing, however, that is the POWER, to live in The PRESENCE of GOD is costly. The woman who broke the precious alabaster box anointed Jesus with the Oil. The contents in the alabaster box were very costly but to anoint Jesus with it was a more of a blessing to her than the costly oil in the box.
The closer we get to Christ, the more we die to self. It is very costly but well worth it. WELL WORTH IT ! I KNOW IT ! I couldn't do it without the help of God the Holy Spirit and the Word of God. I may not be where I want to be but Thank GOD, I am NOT where I used to be! Praise the Precious Awesome Name of our GOD through our Lord Jesus Christ and His Holy Spirit.
Great post !
