Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, to make you obey its passions (Romans 6:12).
It bears repeating: if you want life, deny yourself (Matthew 16:24–25). Your narcissistic nihilist self will kill you if you do not.
Get ready. Your old self is going to command you to sin today. It will pose as your master and sound (and feel) strong. But it’s your former master and its strength is feigned. You don’t have to obey!
Jesus has emancipated you. Say no to slavery and yes to the freedom of the glory of the children of God (Romans 8:21).
From Desiring God
