Excuses.
There is TOO MUCH to give up.

Is it because of your business, and a desire to make money, that you are unwilling to accept Christ? If so, listen to the question God puts to you!

FOR what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?

Mark 8:36.

God only asks you to give up that which is not for your own good?

FOR the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory; no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.

Psalms 84:11.

God gave up his son to die for your sins, and will now supply all your needs.

HE that spared not His own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?

Romans 8:32.

Take Christ, attend to the most important things first and the less important will be provided later.

BUT seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Matthew 6:33.

By giving up worldly things, you will receive manifold more in return in spiritual blessing.

AND he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God’s sake, Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.

Luke 18:29-30.

FOR he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

Galatians 6:8.

Jesus said, “Ye can not serve two masters," (Matthew 6:24) but you will serve one,—Christ or the Devil, which shall it be? The Devil pays, “the wages of death,” (Romans 6:23) but Christ gives eternal life.
