Self Sacrifice and Dying to self
What do men know about this two terms?
Not a thing!! Christians give lip service to such terms but have not a clue as to what it means.
They actually think its all about them. Gosh do they actually read scripture?
NO!!
Well you say what is lip service? Let me show you:
Mat 15:8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
Mat 15:9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
See its not just what comes from the mouth. Why? Because we also have scriptures likes these:
Mat 15:11 Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.
Why is this so?? Here is another:
Mat 15:17 Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?
Mat 15:18 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.
Mat 15:19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:
Mat 15:20 These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.
Do Christians understand this stuff! They claim they do but do another thing!
Can they not see it is of the heart!!
From the heart, to the heart, heart has to change, heart is renewed. Why don't they get this?
Well I digress..........wait wait one more scripture!
Luk 6:45 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.
Heart!! its either good or evil!
I've heard Christians say such things like:
Evil men think with there minds and Good men think with there hearts! What silliness!!
But.........I digress
I love this scripture:
Joh 15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
Man! There is so much to be said for this verse! Do Christians obey it! NO! resounding no!
Self sacrifice and dying to self is not important to them because they don't know what it means! Even if they did, they don't do these things. Which gives way to more lip service!!
Luk 6:46 And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?
lip service and no doing!
Rom 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
We must learn to die daily! DAILY! How can a man die everyday.
He can because this is spiritual not physical!
1Co 15:31 I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.
Gosh I have to die!
Do you?
