What does it mean to deny yourself? | GotQuestions.org

Sacrificing personal ambition sounds absolutely crazy in our modern culture. Living out Matthew 16:24 self-denial is hard when we carry so much daily pain. We read the intense call from Jesus, Paul, and Dietrich Bonhoeffer about carrying a cross, and it usually just leaves us feeling inadequate. Yet looking at how Ruth or Esther practiced the gentle humility of Philippians 2:4-8 shows a much more beautiful path forward. By bringing our very real Romans 7:14-25 struggles into the light, we finally experience the grace needed for this journey.
