Self ("I", ego, id, pride) Denial Begets Faith, And Thankfully TRUTH - IS - Faith Wins The Victory Over Sin, 'D'evil and Death!

Someone had testified, "Self-confidence is the key: do you have it"?

And i responded:

Rather than "self-confidence", self("I", ego, id, pride)denial begets Faith, and Faith evermore begets self-denial! (Luke 9:23)  http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/06/life-or-death-easy-choice-however-to.html

And Thankfully Faith Wins The Victory over sin, self, religion(James 1:27 reveals The Active Faith of The One and Only "Pure Religion and Undefiled"!), 'D'evil "god of this world", and ultimately death! (I John 5:4, Galatians 2:20, James 1:27, I Corinthians 15:54-55, Mark 8:34, John 11:26)  http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2014/07/thankfully-faith-wins-victory-i-john-54.html

Surrender, Dependence and Faith! "The Way to The Truth of The Life "! (John 14:6)

Yes! For The CREATOR(Our FATHER and ELOHIM!), HE knows what IS best for HIS Creation! And The Messiah, The First Born of Creation, revealed The Way < TO > The Truth < OF > The Life in both His Life Example and The Teachings He received from Our FATHER and ELOHIM!
(John 20:17, Ephesians 3:9, Genesis 1:3-4)  http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/09/our-father-and-god-john-2017.html

HalleluYAH!

However, "The Preaching of The Cross IS Foolishness Unto Those Who Will Perish"! (I Corinthians 1:18)
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2011/01/have-you-been-double-crossed.html

TRUTH IS! The "I(ego,id,self,pride)" that IS in each and every human needs be "nailed to the cross" for their soul to be saved! (Matthew 16:24, Luke 14:33)  http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2009/05/i-must-die.html

And the brethren(naturally male or 'fe'male) of the Messiah are exhorted to; "Be not like those whose god IS their belly, and whose glory IS in their shame, because they mind earthly things."(Philippians 3:19)

"Set your affections on things above", Heavenly things....... (Colossians 3:1-3)

A worldly soul had written of the need to be "self-reliant"!

"Self("I", ego, id, pride)reliant"?
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2009/05/i-must-die.html

TRUTH IS! "Self-reliance" and/or "Self-sufficiency" both have their portion in and of 'D'evil "father of lies", he who - IS - 'D'evil "god of this world" and religion's way(Except it be The Active Faith as revealed in James 1:27!) in these last days! (John 8:44, II Corinthians 4:4)

For TRUTH IS! As The Messiah testified, so also His brethren(naturally male or 'fe'male) have REALized, "i can do nothing of my own self"....... (John 5:19,30; 8:28-29; 7:16; 12:49-50; 14:10,23-24; 17:8,14)

So, "you that are unable to do the least(Breathing - IS - the gift of life, and the breath of life needs be received!), why do you take thought for the rest"? (Luke 12:26)  http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/04/you-that-are-unable-to-do-least-why-do.html

The Messiah testified, "Whoever lives and believes in Me SHALL NEVER DIE"! (John 11:26a)

Once again, for that which IS of The TRUTH always bears repeating: 

The Messiah testified, "Whoever lives and believes in Me(Both His Life and His Teachings, which He received from Our FATHER and ELOHIM{'God' IS of pagan greek mythology}!) Shall Never Die! (John 11:26a) 

Then He questioned, "Do you believe this"? (John 11:26b)

YES!  For ETERNAL Life IS Wholly Of The SPIRIT and TRUTH!  

And you?  Do you believe The Messiah?
