Have you suffered so much for nothing–if it really was for nothing? (Galatians 3:4)
If you can do it on your own, then the cross wasn’t necessary.
If the cross wasn’t necessary, then your suffering for Christ is meaningless.
If your suffering is meaningless, then you are an idiot fool person making unwise choices.
Look, chances are none of you reading this has known the kind of suffering that the early church had to deal with. Still, following Christ has cost you, in some cases dearly. Are you sure the cost is worth it?
I mean, reallytrulydowninyourbones sure?
Good
Oh, just one more question: Why are you still trying to make it on your own?
Happy Tuesday, Beloved.
