The Word of God is full of the message of His grace.  Christ died in our place to purchase our salvation.  It is a free gift which costs us nothing.  Our sins are forgiven and we are made right with God by grace which we appropriate by faith.  But to be a disciple is a commitment which costs us everything.  If we will share in Christ's glory we must be willing to share in his suffering.  Are you willing to pay the price?
