We who are disciples of Jesus need to be ready to risk everything for His sake. We can do that because we know that we risk nothing.
This is the key question to deal with if someone is going to be able to risk it all: Is the Gospel true? If it is not, then let's give up the sham and be fully pagan. But if it is true, then we have something solid to stand on as we risk all. We are assured of the tender affections of the Father, the forgiveness bought by the Son and the presence of the Spirit who still performs miracles. And on top of that, we are also promised that whatever we risk and lose for the Gospel will be restored to us - with interest! - in the age to come. We need to learn how to hold the things of this life, including life itself, very loosely. We need to learn how to risk everything for the sake of the fame of Jesus. And to do that confident that we risk nothing.
