1 Corinthians 1:27

Lalu Yesus berkata kepada murid-murid-Nya, "Jika seseorang mau mengikut Aku, ia harus menyangkal dirinya, memikul salibnya dan mengikut Aku” (Matius 16:24). Sering kali sebagai orang percaya, kita berpikir bahwa mengikut Yesus hanyalah sebatas cara untuk mendapatkan tiket keselamatan. Tetapi pada Matius 16:24, Yesus mengajarkan bahwa setiap orang harus menyangkal diri, memikul salib, dan mengikut Dia. Kita memiliki standar hidup yang berbeda dari dunia dan hidup kita diubahkan untuk semakin serupa seperti Yesus di dalam proses perjalanan iman kita.
