I Died “I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave himself for me.” -Galatians 2:20
I Was Bought “You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore, honor God with your body” -1 Corinthians 6:19b-20
2. So, what do I do now? Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. -Romans 6:6
Deny Myself? “If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. For whosever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me and the gospel will save it.” -Mark 8:34-35
Give Up Everything?! In the same way, any of you who does not give up everything he has cannot be my disciple. -Luke 14:33
Give Up Everything?! The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field. -Matthew 13:44

John Piper Brothers, We are Not Professionals
