Believers are many but disciples are few in the journey of salvation because many have not valued the cost of choice and decision, it will not speak well when you go for shopping, you didn't first list down the scale of preference, calculate the cost of your needs, you either buy what you don't need or buy less than your needs or buy nothing, christiandom are full of different categories of Believers, to extent that even gentles question our faith or salvation or lifestyles because It doesn't look like the lifestyle of Jesus Christ they heard about, why? Because many fail to count their cost for Christian race, Jesus in his message this morning saying: have you counted your cost when you decided to follow me?
Salvation is spiritual transaction where you have to exchange your life, worth, love and the likes for eternal life.
