Luke 9:23-25 (New King James Version)
23 Then He said to them all, "If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me. 24 For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it. 25 For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and is himself destroyed or lost?
Do you wish to follow Jesus?
Do you honestly want to follow Jesus?
Then you must take up Your cross daily and deny himself. Sacrifice is not popular in this day we live in a wealthy Christian, the idea of going without for the sake of the gospel seems so strange. It seems that this body of preachers of the Gospel of today's prosperity Bibles will be excluded.
If you do not follow Jesus, who are you after?
Popular Teachers false? False prophets? Satan?
Lets go back to writing.
We were told to deny ourselves, take up our cross and followJesus.
Not live without the tithe, you ignore the Commission's major sins and for all the time. Jesus was not a sinner, so all time is no sin for him.
As we deny ourselves?
We must deny ourselves the time TV. We can start by reading the Bible and good Christian books. We can give more to the Lord and to deny our desires of the flesh. We are able to give to the poor and save money when you buy things, not always the best. You can also deny us quicklyFood for approaching the Lord. We can not associate with the wrong people, nations, whose habits are not good for us.
Taking up our cross.
Deny oneself is an important part of recording our cross. People who are used with whatever they want, is experienced as an encounter cross when they go without the benefit of the Lord in their lives. If you live a life in front of the crucified Lord to begin to respect people who are close to you, and this mayGuest weird call. Taking up your cross may mean that pamphlets on how to work and on the way home. Taking up your cross may mean sharing the truth of the Gospel with someone at your workplace.
For Jesus the cross was a very painful and led to his death. It adheres well to the Lord his cross, we share the passing of our natural passions and take on the passions of the Holy Spirit. To walk in the Spirit is also convenient toLord.
Losing life
Losing your life for love of Jesus' is not the average Christian life. Losing your life is dedicated to a life, the gospel of Jesus and the power of the word in your life. Losing your life is always on his knees in the morning and dedicate each day to the Lord and then during the day dedicated to the Lord of life. Losing your life to Jesus is not an easy life Christian, this is a radical change, is to let go of flesh and all his desires and living conditionsentirely for the Lord and His precious Gospel. E 'to shine your light, Let It All purely on Jesus, you shine through a lost world and evil. This is a radical change. It 'a decision that many people have never, despite the praise and worship songs that they sing every week.
But if you try to save them, you lose
This is a poem that shows that people do not deny themselves for Christ will be denied when it comes time for a verdict. When trying to hold and itsWealth and live in the lusts of the flesh, for they shall inherit the death or hell. Therefore, Jesus is saying, what point is what he gains the whole world and loses his soul goes. It 'a sad thing, but many people say if the desire is not of this world to heaven, and which could also be in the church until the day they die.
Counting the cost
Luke 14:28-33 (New King James Version)
Build 28 For those of you and wanted a tower without first sitting down andcount the cost, if it has enough to finish it-29, having laid the foundation, and is not an end, all those who mock him, 30 saying, 'This man began to build not begin and end in this situation? 31 Or what king, going to war against another king, does not first sit down and evaluate if he is able with ten thousand to meet that comes against him with twenty thousand? or 32, while the other is still a great way off, send a delegation and asksConditions of peace. 33 So also the left, not one of you who, what he has, can not be my disciple.
If we interpret this scripture as a person who enters the Christian life, that the tower you will see that Jesus prepared for alarm about the folly of entering into a Christian life without paying the cost of construction.
Jesus used illustrations to emphasize, therefore, let none of you who, what he has, can not be my disciple.
MarryAll.
Did you know that you all, Jesus had left to follow?
Know that means your finances and property, too?
We deny ourselves and take up our cross and keep letting everyone have Jesus
Let me pray for you.
Father, I will give my life for you in a new and fresh. Show me what areas of my life that I need to deny me, to please you. Give me the courage to resume my daily cross, and with you and follow in the footsteps of Sunevery day. I repent of my attitude and my life fleshy and carnal desire to enter into a state of holiness. Please update me and introduced me to pray.
In Jesus 'name' I ask. Amen.
