When Christ calls a man, he bids him come and die.

Christ did not suffer and die to offer cheap grace. Jesus did not go willingly to the cross so we could have an easy life or offer a faith built on easy-believism. As someone once said, ‘Salvation is free, but not cheap.’ It cost Jesus His life.

Cheap grace is grace without discipleship.

In normal life we hardly realize how much more we receive than we give, and life cannot be rich without such gratitude. It is so easy to overestimate the importance of our own achievements compared with what we owe to the help of others.

Cheap grace is the deadly enemy of our church. We are fighting today for costly grace.

Costly grace is the gospel which must be sought again and again, the gift which must be asked for, the door at which a man must knock.
