There is no choice for us; we must either deny self or deny christ. Therenare two great powers fighting each other - the self nature in the power of sin, and christ in the power of god. Either of these must rule in us.
It was self that made the devil. He was an angel of god, but he wanted to exalt self. He became a devil in hall. Self was the causeof the fall of man. Eve wanted something for herself, and so our first parents fell into all the wretchedness of sin. We their children have inherited an awful nature of sin
(From absolute surrender by andrew murry)
Question for us all is do we deny self, or deny christ? Do we lay down all we are and have at his feet and say here I am lord use me/send me? Or do we persue things that are self centered?
