Following Christ is not just about believing once; it is about surrendering daily.
“Dying to self” means letting go of pride, selfish desires, and personal control so that God’s will leads your life.
It is not losing yourself – it is becoming who God created you to be.
Choose surrender daily
Spiritual growth requires daily decisions to follow Christ above your own desires.
Luke 9:23 tells us…
“Whoever wants to be My disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow Me.”
Surrender is not a one-time event. It is a daily choice to put God first.
Let go of pride and control
Self-centered living keeps you stuck.
Yielding to God opens the door for transformation.
Galatians 2:20 says…
“I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me.” When self decreases, Christ’s life becomes more visible in us.
Live by the Spirit, not the flesh
Dying to self means choosing God’s way over impulses and old habits.
Romans 8:13 tells us…
“If by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live.” —The Holy Spirit gives strength to live beyond selfish desires.
Surrender leads to real life
Letting go of self-centered living doesn’t bring loss — it brings freedom and purpose.
Matthew 16:25 tells us…
“Whoever loses their life for My sake will find it.” True life in Christ grows when self is no longer at the center.

Abide with us at all times, Lord Jesus.
