It's a daily renewing of our minds not just one and done that is baptism.
Jesus emphasized the importance of taking up our crosses as a commitment to discipleship. In the Gospels, He instructs His followers to deny themselves and carry their crosses daily. This act symbolizes the willingness to endure hardships and sacrifices for the sake of following Him.
Key Scriptures
Matthew 16:24: "Then Jesus told His disciples, 'If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.'" This verse highlights the necessity of self-denial and commitment to Jesus
.
Luke 9:23: "He said to all of them, 'Those who want to come with me must say no to the things they want, pick up their crosses every day, and follow me.'" This reinforces the daily nature of this commitment.
Every morning we take our first conscious breath we should take it asking JESUS CHRIST to walk with us! If you start with HIM you will have already succeeded in the hardest part of our daily walk! I have missed the mark but thank GOD JESUS CHRIST died for all the sins that I am going to make. But it doesn't mean im off the hook ohh no! GOD forbid! Less I make JESUS get back up on that cross. I hope this helps someone… just remember if you have fear you are not perfected in love! Ask the FATHER to make your cup overflow! 🙏✝️🛐 HE is SPIRIT and LOVE after all… all the good in this life is truly from HIM! Praise JESUS CHRIST!
