Take Up Your Cross

To be a living and willing sacrifice one must have their conscience clean. This is the work of the Holy Spirit when one obeys the Gospel and follows Christ. A living, willing sacrifice begins with one denying themselves. They remove all thoughts of themselves daily. Yielding to the perfect love of God. Removing all thoughts of yourself, daily destroying these thoughts! To follow Christ as a living sacrifice they take up their cross and execute their self-centered life. All exterior religion must be killed. There must no longer be a “me first” attitude. People who live for themselves do not truly follow Christ. One must remove the mindset that puts self-first. Until this happens one has not taken up their cross. Many are looking at Christ from a distance and have not taken up their cross! Everything else is carnal religion. No one can delight to do God’s will without His nature and Spirit. One must deny themselves and die to themselves to truly follow after Christ.
