God Quote-Discipleship

JOHN SHIRK – In the Year of God’s Word, this is what the Lord says in Mark 8:34 and 35.

Jesus said this to the crowd and His disciples: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me and for the gospel will save it.”

The Gospel is an invitation to die to ourselves and live for Jesus. This is a matter of setting Him apart as Lord and trusting Him to lead the way, whatever the cost. Even in death, our salvation is secure in Christ. Our hope is not found in the treasures of this world but rather the treasures of heaven.

Mark 8:34 and 35-that’s today’s God Quote for us to embrace for Life.
