The Gospel costs nothing at all. You can't earn it or buy it. It could only be received as a free gift compliments of God's sophistication. It generally does not cost anything, but it needs everything. It needs that people go "all in," a term that simply means putting everything that you have into God's hands. Driving everything in. And that's where we get caught up - religious no man's land. We're fearful that if we go all for the reason that we might miss out on what this life provides. It isn't true. The only thing you'll miss out on is everything God provides. And the good news is this: if you don't hold on on God, God won't hold on on you. Listeners will find Batterson's writing filled up with his customary stunning biblical heroes like Shamgar and Elisha and Jonathan, and Judas. No one has ever before sacrificed anything for God. In the event that you always reunite more than you quit, have you sacrificed some thing? The eternal incentive always outweighs the temporal sacrifice. By the end of your day, our ideal regret will be whatever we didn't surrender to God. Everything we didn't rebel across the desk to Him. Eternity will uncover that having out is sacrificing out. The note of All In is simple: if Jesus is not Lord of all then Jesus is not Lord whatsoever. It's all or nothing at all. It's now or never. Kneeling at the ft . of cross of Christ and surrendering to His Lordship is a radical act of dethroning yourself and enthroning Christ as King. It's also an work of disowning yourself. Little or nothing belongs to you. Not you. Batterson writes, "For many years, I thought I had been following Jesus. I wasn't. I had invited Jesus to follow me. I call it inverted Christianity. And it's a simple form of selfishness that masquerades as spirituality. That's whenever i sold out and bought in. When performed we start believing that the gospel can be an insurance plan? It's a daring plan. Jesus didn't die just to keep us safe. He perished to make us dangerous."
