To follow Messiah who brings life, it takes death! Death to our flesh and it's desires that go against Loving God and loving our neighbor as ourselves..
2 John 1:4-6
I rejoiced greatly because I found some of your children walking in truth, as we received a command from the Father. And now I ask you, Kuria, not as though I wrote a fresh command to you, but that which we have had from the beginning: that we love one another. And this is the love, that we walk according to His commands. This is the command, that as you have heard from the beginning, you should walk in it.
John 12:23-26
And יהושע answered them, saying, “The hour has come for the Son of Aḏam to be esteemed. “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone. But if it dies, it bears much fruit. “He who loves his life shall lose it, and he who hates his life in this world shall preserve it for everlasting life. “If anyone serves Me, let him follow Me. And where I am, there My servant also shall be. If anyone serves Me, the Father shall value him.
.
As our Master and Messiah went to His death for us, we are to die to our flesh so we can be filled with His Holy Spirit and His Word of Truth!
