Yet is not death the very thing that the Lord requires of us? Must not this kernel die before it can bear much fruit? Yes, let us wholeheartedly embrace death to self, that we may live an abundant life in Christ. Let us focus on counting all things loss for Christ. Let us fall before His throne and humbly beg for His mercy.

We are to preach the gospel to ourselves daily.
