Following Yahshua:  What is the Cost?
Following Yahshua: What is the Cost?

 

Following Yahshua:  What is the Cost?

 

Then said Jesus unto His disciples, if any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross and follow me.  For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.  What is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?  Mark 8:34-38 (KJV)

 

Requirements for Yahshua’s disciples:

Self –Denial

Take up his cross  

Follow Yahshua

Result of hanging onto one’s life:

Life will be lost

Gaining the world, but loss of soul

There is nothing man can give in exchange for his soul

Result for losing one’s life for Yahshua’s sake:

One’s life will be found 

 

When His disciples heard it (see Matthew 19:16-30), they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved? Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, with men this is impossible; but with GOD all things are possible. Then answered Peter and said unto Him, behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore?

 Jesus said unto them, verily I say unto you, that ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of His Glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.  Everyone that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my Name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life (Matthew 19:25-29) KJV

Regeneration:  New: The restoration of all things (brought into a new life by the Glorious plan of salvation by YHVH  GOD through His Holy Son, Yahshua ha Mashiach).

Acts 3:31 (see what Peter, the apostle of Yahshua, stated within the Book of Acts 3:12-26)

What is a disciple of Yahshua?  A disciple is a follower/learner  of Yahshua, meaning that His followers believe that He is the Son of the One True and Living GOD (John 6:69) and have believed and received His gospel regarding  the Kingdom of Heaven (Matthew 4:17)

Note:  It was customary for individuals to choose a rabbi they wished to follow, but Yahshua chose His disciples.

 

 

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness. If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things? And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.  And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
 

That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.


He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
 

For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.  John 3:11-21 (KJV)
 

The Conclusion: Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 
YHVH has spoken in these last days by whom? Hebrews ch. 1 
As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world. John 9:5 (KJV)
