In a word YES! The late Pastor and Bible Teacher of Grace Community Church in Sun Valley, CA John MacArthur said that once we come to Jesus that is the end of you. In other words, our lives have to be hidden in Christ. Jesus said that anyone that desires to follow Him they need to deny themselves, and take up their cross and follow Him. Jesus went on to say, "Whoever desires to save His life will lose it, but whoever loses His life for My sake will find it (Matthew 16:24-25).
Jesus paid the ultimate cost with His life and purchased our salvation with His blood for the forgiveness of our sins. Remember, ours sins are an affront to God and they must be punished. God will not allow the guilty to go free. The Father sent the Son to pay the price for sin that we could never pay. Why? Because the Father will not accept a sin sacrifice from a sinner. Jesus who knew no sin became sin for us that we might become the righteousness of God in Him (2 Corinthians 5:21). This is what I call the great exchange: The guiltless died for the guilty. The sinless died for the sinful. Jesus traded places with us so the Father would judicially pour out His wrath on His only begotten Son on the cross so that we would be saved when we exercised our faith in Christ's finished work.
So herein lies the unfathomable difference between the Lord and us. Jesus purchase our salvation because He was the only one that could. He did the ultimate heavy lift. The Father poured out His wrath on Jesus because of our sins and was satisfied with his vicarious death.
As a result of Christ's completed work at Calvary, we now have a cross we must bear. We must be willing to suffer the loss of all things to enter into the kingdom of God. Let me be clear, we're not suffering to see if we will make it into heaven. We were granted heaven as a future inherited blessing when we believed on Jesus, but the only way one can prove their faith is genuine is if they endure until the end. This posture is what separates believers from imposters - true Christians from fake ones.
The apostle Paul had his mindset and priorities right, "But what things were gain to me, these I have counted loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ" (Philippians 3:7-8).
Jesus told His disciples face to face and to all believers by extension, that in this life you will have tribulation. But be of good cheer I have overcome the world (John 16:33).
Paul again in Philippians 1:29 said, "For to you it has been granted on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for His sake."
So I would encourage and caution all of us as believers to do as a good friend told me over 30 years ago, "Prepare for the worst and believe the Lord for the best." Be of good cheer Jesus said. For He has overcome the world.
If you're in Jesus you're an overcome too (1 John 5:4-5).
