DENY YOURSELF Matthew 16:24 Sin causes us to be self-centered , shifting our hearts from God to self . The essence of salvation is an about - face from self-centeredness to God-centeredness . The Christian must send a lifetime denying self . Our great temptation will be to affirm ourselves while we follow Jesus . Self-centered people try to keep their lives unruffled and Undisturbed , safe and secure . The world will entice you to adopt its goals and to invest in temporal things . Resist temptation to pursue your own goals , asking God to bless them . Rather , deny yourself and join the activity of God as He reveals it to you .
