I think you're both talking past each other because, naturally, a practicing Christian already enjoys his faith, doesn't see the sacrifices it entails as the "cost" of receiving the gift of heaven, since these often already feel like heaven to the Christian, especially compared to lovelessness of his past, but by contrast, the unbeliever without the won perspective doesn't have the experience but to see it in terms of conditions and tiny print.

I think it's a gift to the believer, and a lotto ticket to the unbeliever.
