Self-denial - Self-sacrifice

You must choose all the laws of Christ, there is no getting to heaven by a partial obedience. It is not enough to take up the cheap and easy part of religion, and let alone the duties that are costly and self-denying. [ASGTH]

What is a witness, but a martyr, for the words in our Bible are the same. A witness for Jesus Christ is one who has given up everything for the cause of Christ.

Those whose business it is to call others to mourn for sin, and to mortify it, ought themselves to live a serious life, a life of self-denial, mortification, and contempt of the world. [MHBC-Mat 3]

A disciple of Jesus Christ is one who is as willing to part with that which he loves the most as that which he hates. (Luke 14:26,27)
