The cost of discipleship by Deitrich Bonhoeffer I have discovered is a huge wake up call for Christians. I mean how often do we go through life with absolutely no change in our ways and yet claiming that God's grace is upon us simply because we believe? That since we are excused it is fine to continue sinning. How are we any better than a so called non Christian? Read the gospels. Is this the life Jesus called us to?
A life of believing in him and living like the pagans around us? Grace cannot justify even that. I have lived like this and am truly ashamed.
I believe God has called us to carry our crosses not leave them lying around and prancing our way down the road. Deny ourselves and our way of life and let's give up and surrender everything we have to Christ. No more cheap grace. Only the costly grace of discipleship that comes from following Christ and serving others.
