The very essence of our walk with God is the sacrifice of our love or loves.
We need to recognize to further the kingdom of God, we must sacrifice the love of ourselves.
In our relationships with other people, love is the oil we apply when sparks fly and they are getting on our nerves.
If we are going to show God's to the world, we must allow Him to show Himself through us. God died (Jesus) for us while we were His enemies.
Do you love God more than your own life? Would you be willing to die for the cause of Christ?
To deny one's self is at the root of living successfully as a christian. It has to do with sacrifice to and for God. Unwilling sacrifice will not merit anything with God, rather a willing heart out of love for Him will offer himself as a vessel, a means by which truth will be expressed. Imagine what it means to God when a man or woman out of a willing heart does this because of love.
Are you willing to forsake all?
True sacrifice of love requires such a complete sacrifice that you would willingly lay down your life for the name of Jesus Christ and to further His cause.
