Such a one says: 'I am tired of the wrongful course.

I want to follow the right course, to know God, and to do his will.' [328]Now being drawn to Jesus, he learns through the Word that he must do something.

To him Jesus says: 'I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me'.

(John 14:6) What can one who is now repentant and changing his course, but still a sinner, do to come into harmony with God?
He is informed that it will cost him much.

So Jesus says to him: 'Sit down and count the cost'.
