The Bible addresses the cost of discipleship, the cost of sin, and the cost of redemption, among other themes. Cost of Discipleship One of the most profound teachings on cost is found in the words of Jesus regarding the cost of following Him. In <a href="/luke/14-28.htm">Luke 14:28-33</a>, Jesus uses the analogy of building a tower and going to war to illustrate the importance of counting the cost of discipleship: "For which of you, wishing to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost to see if he has the resources to complete it?" (<a href="/luke/14-28.htm">Luke 14:28</a>). Jesus emphasizes that true discipleship requires a willingness to forsake all else, including familial ties and personal ambitions, to follow Him fully. Cost of Sin The Bible also speaks to the cost of sin, which is ultimately death and separation from God. <a href="/romans/6-23.htm">Romans 6:23</a> states, "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord" . This verse highlights the grave consequence of sin, contrasting it with the free gift of salvation offered through Jesus Christ. The cost of sin is not only physical death but also spiritual death, which necessitates redemption. Cost of Redemption The cost of redemption is a central theme in Scripture, underscoring the sacrificial love of God. The Apostle Peter writes, "For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life you inherited from your forefathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or spot" (<a href="/1_peter/1-18.htm">1 Peter 1:18-19</a>). This passage emphasizes that the cost of humanity's redemption was the blood of Jesus, a price far beyond any earthly measure. Cost in Offerings and Sacrifices In the Old Testament, the cost of offerings and sacrifices was a tangible expression of worship and atonement. The Israelites were instructed to bring offerings that were without blemish, signifying the value and purity required in their relationship with God. King David exemplifies this principle in <a href="/2_samuel/24-24.htm">2 Samuel 24:24</a>, where he insists on paying for the threshing floor to offer sacrifices to God, saying, "I will not offer to the LORD my God burnt offerings that cost me nothing" . This reflects the understanding that true worship involves personal sacrifice and cost. Cost in Stewardship The Bible also addresses the cost associated with stewardship and the wise management of resources. In the Parable of the Talents (<a href="/matthew/25-14.htm">Matthew 25:14-30</a>), Jesus teaches about the responsibility of using God-given resources wisely and the cost of neglecting this duty. The servants who invested their talents were rewarded, while the one who buried his talent faced severe consequences, illustrating the cost of unfaithfulness in stewardship. Cost of Following Christ The New Testament further elaborates on the cost of following Christ, which includes enduring persecution and suffering for His sake. The Apostle Paul writes in <a href="/philippians/3-8.htm">Philippians 3:8</a>, "More than that, I count all things as loss compared to the surpassing excellence of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ" . Paul acknowledges the personal cost of his commitment to Christ, yet he regards it as insignificant compared to the eternal gain of knowing Jesus. In summary, the biblical concept of cost encompasses a wide range of spiritual truths, from the sacrificial demands of discipleship to the immeasurable price of redemption. The Bible calls believers to consider the cost of their choices and to prioritize their relationship with God above all else.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
