John 1:43
43 The day following Jesus would go forth into
Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith unto him,
Follow me.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is credited with observing that life is not worth living until you find something worth dying for. When Jesus called His first disciples in the region of Galilee, they followed Him without knowing very much about Him. But they would all die for Him eventually. Between their calling and their death, they discovered that Jesus was worth living and dying for.
Luke 14:26-27
26 If any man come to me, and hate not his father,
and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren,
and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot
be my disciple.
27 And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come
after me, cannot be my disciple.
The Christian life begins with a profession of faith, a willingness to follow Jesus. The longer we follow Him, the more we leave our old self behind. We “put off the old man with his deeds” (Colossians 3:9) and “put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness” (Ephesians 4:24). When we see the old man fading in our memory and the new man becoming the reality of our lives, we realize what following Christ has done. Following Christ changes our lives. Are you following Christ? If so, is your life changing? Look for markers today that the old is being replaced by the new.
The stamp of the saint is that he can waive his own
rights and obey the Lord Jesus. ~ C. S. Lewis

we have to pay the price for following Him, but if our eyes are focused on the eternal life, the price is little.

When we accept Christ we are new creatures and all things are made new in us, we must strive so that the old man dies completely and the word is fulfilled in us and all the old things remain in the past. Life with Christ is worth living. I can not imagine if He. God bless you brother.

Great word! John 14:15, ""If you love Me, you will keep My commandments." (NASB). I believe this speaks about exactly what you are saying. The closer we get to Jesus, the more we leave our old self behind the more we will obey His commandments because that becomes our desire rather than the desire of our flesh.
