Deitrich Bonhoffer once said, “The call of Christ is first a call to die.” The reason we sometimes struggle to live the Christian life is because we have not learned how to die to our spiritual self-sufficiency and our self-centeredness. This last Sunday we considered the call of Christ to “deny yourself, take up your cross daily and follow me.”
This week, I hope you will take time to ask God to show you areas of your life where you are living independently of Him. Where are you allowing self-centeredness to affect your walk with Christ? According to Jesus’ words, this must be done daily.
Begin each day this week surrendering your will to God. Ask Him to help you die to yourself so you can effectively live for Him. It may be the toughest week you ever had, but you will experience God like never before.
Join me this week. Let’s learn together how we can die to self so we can live unto God!
