As Cheap as Dirt But as Expensive as Gold

I'd like to welcome a guest writer to Striving for God's Glory! My ten-year-old son is excited to share with you all.

As Cheap as Dirt But as Expensive as Gold

When you think you might want to be a Christian, and accept God in your heart, it is as cheap as dirt but at the same time as expensive as gold. You don't have to pay anything, but it is so expensive because of how valuable it is. It's like you feel like you just found a cave, a big diamond, or a very large chunk of gold in your backyard. It is a great feeling, that you are doing what God wants for you. 

Here are some verses about getting saved and the kingdom of heaven:

 "This water symbolizes baptism that now saves you also—not the removal of dirt from the body but the pledge of a clear conscience toward God. It saves you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ," 1 Peter 3:21 NIV 

 “The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field." Matthew 13:44
