What does it mean to “die to self?” So much could be said, but allow me to give you a few practical examples of how this would work in day-to-day living.
To bear the cross means forgiving, instead of harboring that grudge.
It means resisting that temptation to do what everybody else does.
It means not having sex before marriage, and being faithful to your spouse after.
It means putting down the remote control and picking up your Bible.
It means praying when you would rather be sleeping.
It means “swallowing your pride” and telling someone about Jesus.
It means doing what God wants you to do, instead of what you want to do.
