WHAT HAVE YOU GOT TO LOSE?

"What have you got to lose by giving your life to Jesus?"

The question is usually asked by a prosperous white American living comfortably with a spouse, a house, three children, and a white-picket fence. In an evangelist setting it sounds something like this:

"If God isn't real and Jesus isn't the truth, and this life is all there is, what has it cost me? I had a good life following God and loving my family, and if I die and there's nothing else, I have nothing to lose. But IF God is real and Jesus is the truth and there is a heaven and a hell after this life, then YOU have EVERYTHING to lose!"
