Losing Your Life to Save It (Episode 100)

Every one of us is going to spend eternity somewhere. Contrary to what many believe, it’s not true that we will just live, die, and return to the dust, end of story. According to the Scriptures, every one of us has an eternal fate. And Jesus says to be saved, you must be willing to lose your life for His sake. Whatever our concept of life is, we don’t want anybody interfering with our pursuit of our concept of life.  We want the opportunity to do life the way we want to do life. But if a person wants to be a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ, he no longer has the option to do life the way he wants to do life. The crossroad at which many people stand today is that they want to live for themselves, and Christ wants them to live for Him, and they can’t effectively do both at the same time. Absolutely no compatibility exists between these two lifestyles. The god of this world, namely the devil, is busy at work. His agenda is diametrically opposed to that of Jesus Christ. The devil wants you to save your life so that you will lose it. But Jesus wants you to lose your life for His sake so you can have the life that comes solely through faith in Him. Duration 16:10
