Mark 8:34-38
To judge self is to lose the self-life, and find the Christ-life (Gal. 2:20).

· To judge self is to no longer be self-conscious, but become Christ-conscious (Matt. 28:20).

· To judge self is to no longer be self-controlled, but to become Christ-controlled (Acts 9:6).

· To judge self is to no longer practice self-esteem, but to esteem others better than self (Phil. 2:3). To judge self is to become selfless.

  • It is a most humbling thought to know that some day the believer will face all of his works, “good or bad”. Some will be ashamed (1 John 2:28) and “suffer loss” not the loss of salvation, but the loss of rewards

(1 Cor. 3:11- 15). So whatever you do, do it to the glory of God (Col. 3:17).
