When Jesus explained how to come to Him, He stated that the first requirement is to deny self (Mark 8:34). This is not an easy command and requires a deep understanding of what God has done to save humanity from sin. When this is understood and appreciated, it is then that self-denial can be practiced. This study will focus on God’s great gift to humanity, what self-denial means, and suggestions for how this can become a way of life.
