“For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it.”‭‭Luke‬ ‭9:24‬ ‭ESV‬‬The world tells us the secret to success is to become obsessed with advancing our lives and agendas. Jesus tells us the secret is the exact opposite.

And he said to him, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment.

What are some ways we can live that out?

“...for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,”‭‭Romans‬ ‭3:23‬ ‭ESV‬‬While Paul is obviously saying that every individual human has the same spiritual condition and standing before God, the context of this passage is about Jews and Gentiles.
