I think God would honor such humility on your part. As followers we need the humility to admit we're wrong. You have to be willing to do what is not immediately obvious to you. If you are clear that Scripture says you should do something, that is enough. Pray that our church would be characterized by such a powerful love.
Literature is full of people who have made such a bargain.
What if following Christ would involve the loss of everything. We shouldn't be led by the world's vision of greatness but what Christ says is good and long-lasting. The question is meant to expose foolishness in us. If you think it's worth it now, one day you will not think it so. This may sound overly religious, but as a church, among all the good words we have to say, we must not lose this message.
