Christian discipleship is loss of life by hearth.
The embrace of recent life solely occurs as we extinguish that which stored breath within the previous life. Love’s requirement is that we lay to relaxation the short-sighted calls for of egotism. Victory in Christ at all times entails the demise of some extent of selfishness.

The ample lifetime of Christ Jesus is the life that retains coming again within the warmth of imminent mortal menace, the life that retains serving within the fiery furnace of deadly opposition, the life that retains strolling via the valley of the shadows of loss of life.
The previous gospel music says, “I achieved died one time… Gained’t must die no extra.”
Not even loss of life can cease a life impressed by that form of religion.
