That is why the young rich man was so loath to follow Jesus, for the cost of his following was the death of his will. In fact, every call of Jesus is a call to die, with all of our affections and lusts. But we do not want to die, and therefore Jesus Christ and His call are necessary for our death and our life.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer (h/t, Dr. Bob) I have a personal piece in mind to write about this subject of "will," but it will need to wait.
