The bible tells us that after we decide to be a follower of Jesus Christ , a true believer of Yeshua , that there is a cost of following Christ . Jesus told the rich young ruler that in order to follow him it would cost him everything he thought had at that time . It is true that to really follow the Son of God it will cost us everything but what we don't realize is that what we lose here on this earth we gain so much more in knowing Yeshua and what he did on the cross for us .
