Everybody wants to go to heaven, but nobody wants to die.
Dying to self is not easy, but for the Christian is essential to following Jesus.The first Christian martyr was Stephen, who was stoned to death in Jerusalem and the early church was persecuted and scattered. The cool thing however, is that as the early Christian church was scattered and pursued, they preached the Gospel boldly. (Acts 8:1-4) Christians gather on Sundays, and then scatter to our homes, neighborhoods, schools and jobs throughout the week. As we scatter, just like Jesus and Stephen, we are called to die. This calling is not always to a literal death, but a death to ourselves, our agendas, egos, selfishness, comfort, etc. Scripture teaches that dying to self is the primary action of continuous worship, it allows us to be multiplied, and is the secret to real life. Die to Self & Worship: Romans 12:1-2 Worshipping God means offering yourself as a living-sacrifice. We surrender our bodies, minds and our will to Jesus. The mind controls the body, and the will controls the mind. Note the rest of the chapter, which is about serving God and others – it comes after dying to self. Dies to Self & Multiply: John 12:24-25 Multiplying in the Kingdom always follows dying to self. Jesus used the example of seeds, saying that unless a seed falls and dies, it cannot be multiplied. Seeds must first die individually, then can be scattered wherever, whenever, however, and to whomever God leads. Die to Self & Find Life: Mark 8:34-35 Real life is only found in dying to self, and losing your life in Christ. This paradox is repeated over and over in the Gospels. Grasping at the things of this world, and trying to self-preserve and self-promote only leave us empty-handed. What are you living for? What are you willing to die for? See Also:
