SOAP: kingdom rewards

S - And he said to them, "Truly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or wife or brothers or parents or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God, who will not receive many times more in this time, and in the age to come eternal life." — Luke 18:29-30 (ESV)

O - Entry into the Kingdom of God will cost all that you once held dear. The disciples rightly wonder, "Then who can really be saved?" But what is impossible for men is possible for God. He will work in our lives to remove all our idols.

A - Following Christ is costly. It means giving up all I once held dear...

P - Lord help me know that you are a treasure of far greater worth than anything else that I once looked to for security, purpose, status, or comfort.
