Luke, 14:25-35 illustrates the sacrifices and hardships required to become the disciples of Jesus, as well as the repercussions for those who wish to follow but are not completely dedicated. Jesus implies that we must be completely committed to the one life-giver—Jesus Christ for us to obtain life. The fundamental truth of the Bible is summed up in the basic principle of complete obedience to one God. However, the fact is clear and metaphysical since it is impossible to have full devotion and affection for Jesus. The dedication to which Christ calls his disciples may be mistaken as the contempt of the world and the forgetfulness of all and all else; The Gospel's message is a message of complete renunciation as if all the others were "dead."
His invitation to follow is not limited to any particular group but the entire of humankind. Jesus is not limited. But we must be worthy first to accept Jesus' invitation. Jesus clarified that life is not about our temporal time or survival but our everlasting nature about God's kingdom. In verse 26, Jesus proclaimed that "one must hate even life itself," that the believers must be able to submit themselves to Christ ( Luke 14:26) . To obtain salvation, Jesus means that we must pledge ourselves to Jesus Christ, the one Life-Giver.

Verse 34 to verse 35 enables us to understand that the individual is a contrast of salt; it is only worth casting out if salt has become unsalty, practically useless, and worthless. The look may be the same, but the spirit is missing ( Luke 14:34) . The Lord Jesus continues to say that we could become Christians or might say "nominal Christians" if we are so conformed to the certain manners and words of our world that other people will never see Christ in them, but we were not too salty at all.
