Jesus came to give abundant life and great rewards in this life, and also the life that's to come.
vs.26 For 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?
1/ Released from guilt, sin created a barrier.
2/ Power to conquer sin.
3/ Assurance that we are members of God's family.
4/ Deep and lasting peace.
5/ Fullness of joy.
6/ Freedom from loneliness.
7/ Escape from Eternal doom.
But God requires commitment from us.
The power of Christ can change the world.
He was so committed that He was crucified and rose again for us.
vs.24 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.
Deny ourselves and follow Him, exchange a life that's dying for Eternal life.
