I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. (Galatians 2:20 ESV)
Why would we die to ourselves when everything in this life tells us to live for ourselves?
Jesus calls us to lay down our lives. When we do this we become the version of ourselves that we were meant to be. It is this death of self that actually brings LIFE! Life in Christ takes us beyond ourselves into a life that God can use; a life of faith in a God who loves us and a God who gave himself up for us. Our life isn’t about what we can do for God, but what God has already done for us.
Die to yourself because he loves you and gave himself up for you!🤍
