Repentance Part 3 – Repenting from Self-Worship
1. Deny yourself

Jesus taught us that deny ourselves and losing our lives for His sake are essential to being a believer (Matthew 16:21-25). In practice, denying yourself means…
-
Love Jesus more than anything or anyone else. What does this look like in practice?
-
Love Him more than family.
-
Speak the truth, do what is right, and stand out, even if it causes offense, division, or disownment (Matthew 10:34-39, Luke 14:25-33).
-
-
Love Him more than possessions.
-
Do not worry. Trust God as your provider (Matthew 6:24-33).
-
Be generous, and give to others (Luke 12:32-34, Mark 10:21)
-
Gain or store up resources for the benefit of others (1 Timothy 6:17-19).
-
-
Love Him more than self—more than personal comfort, pleasure, or convenience(John 12:24-25, Matthew 16:21-26).
-
Don’t gratify the wants of the flesh—lust, gluttony, laziness, etc. Learn to be okay with being uncomfortable in order to be obedient.
-
Help others when it’s inconvenient.
