#275 - Kyle Thompson // Mere Christianity: The Cost of Perfection

We explore Lewis’s claim that Christ asks for everything and pair it with Jesus’s call to deny yourself, take up your cross, and follow him. We show why perfection is required, why we cannot achieve it, and how Christ’s righteousness becomes ours through surrender.

• the sword imagery and equipping men for spiritual battle
• why Mere Christianity still pierces modern assumptions
• the cost of perfection and the end of half measures
• Jesus’s call to deny self and carry the cross
• cultural self-worship contrasted with gospel surrender
• why perfection is required and unattainable by effort
• how Christ’s righteousness makes us right with God
• counting the cost and asking if Jesus is trustworthy
