When you commit to lay your life down for Jesus in ministry…
These are the quotes from the gospels from the Lord Jesus Himself:
John 16:33 - “These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world.”
Matthew 16:24 - Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me.
Matthew 7:13-14 - “Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. “For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it.
John 15:20 - “Remember the word that I said to you, ‘A slave is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you; if they kept My word, they will keep yours also.
Luke 6:22 - “Blessed are you when men hate you, and ostracize you, and insult you, and scorn your name as evil, for the sake of the Son of Man.
Luke 9:24 - “For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake, he is the one who will save it.
Matthew 24:9 - “Then they will deliver you to tribulation, and will kill you, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name.
Luke 14:26 - “If anyone comes to Me, and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be My disciple.
Luke 14:28 - “For which one of you, when he wants to build a tower, does not first sit down and calculate the cost to see if he has enough to complete it?
Luke 14:33 - So then, none of you can be My disciple who does not give up all his own possessions.
"Salvation is free but it will cost you everything you have"
