06 The Call & The Cost

God has chosen and called us to proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ, and to go to the ends of the earth to make disciples of nations (Matthew 28:16-20). But this call comes at a cost. It requires us to die to our comforts and convenience, and to be prepared to suffer, even to lose our lives for the Gospel.

The cost is great, but the Gospel is worth suffering and losing our lives for. Also, Jesus has promised that the Holy Spirit will help us and give us power (Acts 1:8) as we obey and give ourselves to this great call. Just say “yes” and be available to Him.
