In following the course of our faith in Jesus Christ have we lost our life? I am not talking about martyrs who lose their physical lives, but every believer who will have lost his sinful nature... those things of the world that entice us away from God, or make us lukewarm in His mouth. Jesus is very specific about our need to do this... and about our speaking, and living out our lives as new creatures. How tight are we holding onto our old, and often pleasurable, life in the world? How do we judge the old from the new?
