I would like to be a Christian, but it seems to me that there is too much to give up.

Have you ever seen a "U-Haul" behind a hearst? When a soul departs this body, it enters eternity. What will matter most then will not be the temporary possessions and pleasures of today, but the eternal destiny of the soul. In light of that, it would be better to give up everything than to lose the soul. Put Christ and your soul ahead of everything else. Is it too much to give up plastic pearls for glittering gemstones? This earth's dirt for heaven's diamonds? Is it too much to give up rags for riches? Jesus said in Mark 8:36 & 37 "For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?" Eternal choices of heaven or hell are made now.Do not let anything stand in your way of accepting Christ as your personal Saviour. The only thing you will "give up" by becoming a Christian is ETERNITY IN HELL.
