THE PRICE OF OBEDIENCE

"...though He was a Son, yet He learned obedience by the things which He suffered. And having been perfected, He became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him..."    Hebrews 5.8-9

Learning obedience has a high price.
If the Son of God, who was an obedient servant, had to pay the price by suffering, then imagine what we must suffer as well.
Denying the will of the flesh to obey the voice of the Holy Spirit hurts. But this is the price of obtaining eternal salvation of the soul.

SACRIFICE OF FAITH

"...unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone, but if it dies, it produces much grain."    John 12.24

We are a grain of wheat. Unless we die to our will and the world, we will remain fruitless and alone.
But if we die, we will produce many fruits for the Glory of God.
Supernatural faith sacrifices in favor of the Lord Jesus.
