2Sam.24:24 But the king replied to Araunah, "No, I insist on paying you for it. I will not sacrifice to the LORD my God burnt offerings that cost me nothing."
The Lord Jesus gave His life for us so we could have life everlasting. But what do we give up for the Lord? When we offer up our lives to the Lord it is going to cost us something. For some, living for Jesus cost them their lives. Others, it may cost them their jobs, careers, reputations or perhaps be ostracized from their families or cost them their finances.
Thank God eternal life is a free gift, but it cost God the very best He had, which was Jesus. And we ought to be able to give our lives in whatever capacity we have to in order to serve our King.
