No hay nada m s emocionante en la vida que permitir que Jes s nos torne peligrosos.Basado en su libro m s vendido, All In, Mark Batterson desaf a las creencias err neas de que Dios quiere enviarnos a lugares seguros para hacer cosas f ciles; que la fidelidad es la que nos mantiene inconmovibles; que jugar a lo seguro es seguro; que hay mayores privilegios que el sacrificio; y que lo radical es todo menos lo normal. En cambio, Batterson sostiene que Jes s no muri para mantenernos seguros. Muri para hacernos peligrosos. Aqu hay un desaf o para darlo todo al entregar tu vida por completo al plan audaz que Dios tiene para ti. El mensaje de este libro es simple: si Jes s no es el Se or de todo, entonces Jes s no es el Se or en absoluto. Es todo o nada. Ahora o nunca. Dispuesto a todo o a nada.

The Gospel costs nothing, but it demands everything.It's all or nothing …This powerful booklet, excerpted from All In tells us that the Gospel costs nothing, but demands everything. If Jesus is not Lord of all, He is not Lord at all. It's all or nothing. It's now or never. It's time to ante up and go all in with God.No one has ever sacrificed anything for God. If you always get back more than you gave up, have you sacrificed anything at all? The eternal reward always outweighs the temporal sacrifice. At the end of the day, our greatest regret will be whatever we didn’t give back to God. What we didn’t push back across the table to Him. Eternity will reveal that holding out is losing out.Batterson writes, “For many years, I thought I was following Jesus. I wasn’t. I had invited Jesus to follow me. I call it inverted Christianity. And it’s a subtle form of selfishness that masquerades as spirituality. That’s when I sold out and bought in. When did we start believing that the gospel is an insurance plan? It’s a daring plan. Jesus did not die just to keep us safe. He died to make us dangerous.”

Christians who want to take the next step in their faith walk need look no further. It's time to ante up and go all in with God.The Gospel costs nothing. You can't earn it or buy it. It can only be received as a free gift, which is compliments of God's grace. It doesn't cost anything, but it demands everything. It demands that we go "all in," putting all that we have into God's hands. But why do so many Christians hesitate to do that? And when did we start believing that the Gospel is an insurance plan? We're afraid that if we go all in that we might miss out on what life has to offer. But Jesus did not die to keep us safe. He died to make us dangerous.So, let's step out of spiritual no man's land and kneel at the foot of the cross of Christ and surrender to his lordship. It's time to dethrone yourself and enthrone Christ as king, and Pastor Mark Batterson is here to show you how.Using his customary vivid, contemporary illustrations, as well as biblical characters like Shamgar, Elisha, Jonathan, and even Judas, you will be challenged to trade what Batterson calls "inverted Christianity" for true discipleship as you strip away your excuses and inhibitions and follow God completely.It's now or never.
