It may be true that so many churches don't tell people about the cost but they also don't tell them about the joy complete and eternal, as Paul put it. People and churches love to focus on one side or the other, but it's both all the time. For God's Glory He saves us and that's to our benefit!! We don't die a second death in-fact we start living better now!! Not without problems but knowing the problem and trials will turn to gold, not real gold but a real treasure in heaven that rust cannot touch not moth destroy!markchophttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16447210909355643128noreply@blogger.com
