There is a cost.( Hebrews 11 v 36-38)

I asked a lady was she a Christian  she said,yes but a little Christian,I sensed that she chose what made her a Christian, to be honest I'm not sure what she meant.But  it was opportunity to say a brief word of witness, and the importance of knowing Christ as one's Saviour. It sounds like a very  easy way to become a Christian,just believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved.Yet it is not an easy believism,for it means that we follow Jesus come what may, many people are paying a great price,as they suffer for knowing Him and following Him,let me give you some examples.Three Iranian Christians were arrested and received prison sentences.They were charged with 'propaganda activities'Thirty -seven -year old Narges Nasri, was sentenced to 16 yrs., even though she was 4mths pregnant.Abbas Soori aged 48,received a sentence of 15yrs .Mehran Saloumi aged 37,  recieved a sentence of 11yrs. No its not easy believism ,for those dear girls are paying a severe price,as followers of Christ,Do pray for them and their families, Hebrews 13 v 3 reads,'Continue to remember those in prison as if you were together with them'.
