KNOW WHAT YOU ARE GETTING INTO
If you are going to be a Christian, you must understand what you are truly entering. Christ does not merely adjust a life, He completely transforms it. When He calls a man, He calls him to lay down everything so that He may give him more than he ever dreamed. The soul that kneels at Calvary finds a beauty and a power that alters every desire, every affection, every direction. Once His grace seizes your heart, nothing remains ordinary, nothing stays the same, and nothing can compare with the glory of knowing Him.
Be warned, yet be welcomed, for your life will never be the same. Christ removes your burdens, yet He also lays claim to your entire being. What feels like surrender becomes freedom. What begins as obedience becomes overflowing joy. The more you learn of Him, the more you crave the sweetness of His presence. The more He reveals of Himself, the more you find your heart running after Him with holy longing, just as Mary chose the good part that could never be taken away.
The more He gets of you, the more you will want Him to take over. This is the strange and blessed paradox of grace. Yield a step, and He fills the path. Open a door, and He fills the house. Surrender a single room, and He floods the corridors with His glory. What begins as sacrifice becomes satisfaction. What begins as self-denial becomes life abundant. The Spirit draws you deeper, leading you into a life hidden with Christ in God, where every breath becomes worship and every moment becomes communion.
You will never want to go back once Jesus has taken full hold of you. The world loses its glitter when you behold the King in His beauty. Old chains fall, old fears fade, old loves die in the blaze of His majesty. Christ becomes your life, your peace, your joy, your strength, your song. The path with Him grows brighter and brighter until the perfect day, and the hand that holds you is stronger than every enemy, every doubt, and every storm.
So look to Him and be saved. Open every hidden corridor. Let His light enter every shadow. Give Him your mind, your will, your wounds, your worries, your entire life. Hold nothing back, for the soul that gives all finds that Christ gives infinitely more. Know what you are getting into, and know that you are stepping into life everlasting, joy unshakeable, and fellowship unending—for Christ Himself becomes your treasure, your portion, and your eternal reward.
