The Cost

What Salvation Really Took and What It Really Takes

What did it cost Jesus to save you?

Most Christians can tell you He died on a cross. But that's not the whole story. The cross was the final act—but the cost began long before.

He was God. He left heaven. He became a fetus. He learned to walk. He got tired. He got hungry. He was rejected by the very people He came to save. He sweated blood in a garden while His friends slept. And He said: "Not My will, but Yours be done."

If that's not forsaking yourself, what is?

And yet, most of us have turned salvation into cheap grace. We want the Treasure without selling the field. We want the crown without the cross. We're lukewarm—and Jesus says He will spew lukewarm people out of His mouth.

The early church sold everything, walked in power, and turned the world upside down. The disciples left everything and followed. The man in the parable sold everything for the Treasure—and did it with joy.

What have you sold for Jesus?

Not "what have you added." What have you sold?

In The Cost, you'll discover:

What it actually cost Christ to leave heaven and become a man

How He loved the very people who hated Him—to the death

The agony of Gethsemane and what "not My will" really means

The difference between hot, cold, and lukewarm—and why lukewarm makes Jesus sick

Where our passion and thankfulness have gone

The commission we were given and why we lost the fire to fulfill it

Why we treat evangelism like a sales pitch and gossip about rejection

The hypocrisy of saying "I listen to the Holy Spirit" while filling our eyes with darkness

The man who sold everything for one treasure—and why that's the only rational response to Jesus

A final call to stop reading and start following

This book is not for everyone. It's for the person who knows something is wrong. Who is tired of lukewarm Christianity. Who wants to know what it actually looks like to follow Jesus—not just believe in Him.

Because believing is cheap. Following costs everything.
