We think that life is about what we can get out of it. We don’t realize that church is more about sacrificing what we think is life to gain what true life is which is his presence and his glory.

The gospel teaches us that every sacrifice for the sake of gaining eternity with God is worth it. So much so that God the Father was willing to sacrifice his son Jesus, and Jesus was willing to sacrifice his life. All so that we could gain life with his Holy Spirit here on earth and life in eternity as well.
