Jesus challenged all humanity, even his disciples with the truth. We cant trick people into the kingdom Jesus said ( If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple. Luke 14:26 ) We have a call that God wants us to finish. We have to count up the cost from the beginning in order to finish the work. Our sure ground for victory is in the revelation of our commitment to live by the truth of the Cross.
