“Then Jesus said to the disciples, “If anyone wants to be a
follower of mine, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For anyone who keeps his life for himself
shall lose it; and anyone who loses his life for me shall find it again. What profit is there if you gain the whole
world—and lose eternal life? What Can Be
Compared With The Value Of Eternal Life?.”
To: ALL WHO HAVE EARS TO HEAR
From: GOD THE FATHER, THE LORD
JESUS CHRIST HIS SON and Ministered through the HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD, The Helper, that He may be
with you forever. [John 14:16]
Subject: MY WORD; John 1:1 (NKJV) 1 In the
beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:14 (NKJV) 14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us,
and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full
of grace and truth.
Luke 17:33 (NASB95) 33 “Whoever seeks to keep his
life will lose it, and whoever loses his life will preserve it.
Luke 9:23–26 (AMP) 23 And He said to all,
If any person wills to come after Me, let him deny himself [disown himself, forget,
lose sight of himself and his own interests, refuse and give up himself] and
take up his cross daily and follow Me [cleave steadfastly to Me, conform wholly
to My example in living and, if need be, in dying also]. 24 For whoever would preserve his life and
save it will lose and destroy it, but whoever loses his life for My
sake, he will preserve and save it [from the penalty of eternal death].
25 For what does it profit a man, if he gains the whole world and
ruins or forfeits (loses) himself? 26 Because whoever is ashamed of
Me and of My teachings, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed when He comes in
the [threefold] glory (the splendor and majesty) of Himself and of the Father
and of the holy angels.
Matthew 10:38–40 (NKJV) 38 And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not
worthy of Me. 39 He who finds his life will lose it, and he who
loses his life for My sake will find it. 40 “He who receives you receives Me, and he who receives Me receives Him
who sent Me.
Matthew 16:24–27 (The Living Bible) 24
Then Jesus said to the disciples, “If anyone wants to be a follower of mine,
let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. 25 For
anyone who keeps his life for himself shall lose it; and anyone who loses his
life for me shall find it again. 26 What profit is there if you gain the whole world—and lose eternal life?
What can be compared with the value of eternal life? 27 For I,
the Son of Mankind, shall come with my angels in the glory of my Father and
judge each person according to his deeds.
Mark 8:34–38 (CJB) 34 Then Yeshua called the crowd and his talmidim to him and
told them, “If anyone wants to come
after me, let him say ‘No’ to himself, take up his execution-stake, and keep
following me. 35 For whoever wants to save his own life will
destroy it, but whoever destroys his life for my sake and for the sake of the
Good News will save it. 36 Indeed, what will it benefit a person if
he gains the whole world but forfeits his life? 37 What could a person
give in exchange for his life? 38 For if someone is ashamed of me
and of what I say in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man also
will be ashamed of him when he comes in his Father’s glory with the holy
angels.
John 12:24–26 (AMP) 24 I assure you, most
solemnly I tell you, Unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it
remains [just one grain; it never becomes more but lives] by itself alone. But
if it dies, it produces many others and yields a rich harvest. 25
Anyone who loves his life loses it, but anyone who hates his life in this world
will keep it to life eternal. [Whoever has no love for, no concern for, no
regard for his life here on earth, but despises it, preserves his life forever
and ever.] 26 If anyone
serves Me, he must continue to follow Me [to cleave steadfastly to Me, conform
wholly to My example in living and, if need be, in dying] and wherever I am,
there will My servant be also. If anyone serves Me, the Father will honor him.
[Please Note: Always Read the
Word of God in Context, reading the entire chapter or book, asking the Holy
Spirit of the Living God to give you the interpretation. 2 Peter 1:16–21 (Williams) 16 For it was not mere stories of fancy
that we followed when we told you of the power and coming of our Lord Jesus
Christ, but we had been eyewitnesses of His majesty. 17 For when He
received such honor and glory from God the Father, when from the majestic glory
there was borne to Him a voice like this, “This is my Son, my Beloved, in whom
I take delight.” 18 we heard this voice ourselves borne from heaven
while we were with Him on that sacred mountain. 19 So we have the
message of the prophets more certainly guaranteed. Please pay attention to this message as to a
lamp that is shining in a dismal place, until the day dawns and the morning
star rises in your hearts; 20 because you recognize this truth above
all else, that no prophecy in Scripture
is to be interpreted by one’s own mind, 21 for no prophecy has
ever yet originated in man’s will, but men who were led by the Holy Spirit
spoke from God.]
Philippians 2:9–11 (The Living
Bible)9 Yet it was because of this that God raised
him up to the heights of heaven and gave him a name which is above every other
name, 10 that at the name of
Jesus every knee shall bow in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11
and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God
the Father.
