The Cost


1 Chronicles 21:24 “I will not present burnt offerings that have cost me nothing” A sacrifice that is no sacrifice is really not a sacrifice at all; when you give God your leftovers or scraps, you really haven’t given God anything. The value of a thing is determined by what you pay for it, and if what you are giving God really isn’t costing you anything, then what you are giving God really has no value. Modern Christianity has a mentality that serving God should be easy, convenient and always fun. But the foundation stones of Christianity where laid through the sacrifices of the lives of men and women that were willing pay a price for something they believed had an eternal value. When you give God your best time, talents and resources you offer a sacrifice that is pleasing to God and a sacrificial seed produces a supernatural harvest.
