COT:
In the Bible, “dying to self” is a concept that refers to the act of setting aside one’s own wants and desires to follow Jesus and live a life that is centered on God.

The world has a very different concept of living. Just look over here at this, go ahead and get this, or do that. No one is going to know, no one is going to care. The world screams at us to (fill in the blank) and you’ll be happy. Just a little more…
If it makes you feel happy, do it.

It ultimately comes down to the fact that the enemy is working triple over
time to try and make us stumble. So stand fast and choose to wake up each day, take up your cross, and follow Jesus.

“For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will save it. What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, and yet lose or forfeit their very self?”
‭‭Luke‬ ‭9‬:‭24‬-‭25‬

“I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭2‬:‭20‬

Back To Life
Bethel Music

Remember these lyrics:
“The enemy thought he had me, but Jesus said you are mine”
