His Instruction
If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it. (Luke 9:23, 34)

However, should we give our ownership to ourselves to Him, we will find life in abundance.
