In his book The Great
Omission, Dallas Willard presents the cost of not being completely sold-out to Jesus. I love this passage:
“The cost of nondiscipleship is far greater—even when this
life alone is considered—than the price paid to walk with Jesus, constantly
learning from him. Nondiscipleship costs
abiding peace, a life penetrated throughout by love, faith that sees everything
in the light of God’s overriding governance for good, hopefulness that stands
firm in the most discouraging of circumstances, power to do what is right and
withstand the forces of evil. In short,
nondiscipleship costs you exactly that abundance of life Jesus said he came to
bring (John 10:10).”
Willard covers so much, but can you think of anything
else? What else does not following Jesus
with all our heart, soul, mind and strength, cost us?
