Mark 8:35 AMPC
“For whoever wants to save his [higher, spiritual, eternal] life, will lose it [the lower, natural, temporal life which is lived only on earth]; and whoever gives up his life [which is lived only on earth] for My sake and the Gospel’s will save it [his higher, spiritual life in the eternal kingdom of God].”
Beloved,
Let’s look at some distinctions between higher and lower life:
A HIGHER LIFE is characterized by
Structure
Excellence
Hard work
A LOWER LIFE is characterized by
Frivolity
Mediocrity
Laziness
A person who lives a higher life is a person who is willing to pay the highest price for the kind of life they are living or desire to live while a person living a lower life will only pay the cheapest price possible or no price at all for the life they are living or desire to live (John 18:1; Mark 10:38-39). Which life will you choose?
I commend you to God and the word of His grace.
I call you NATIONS. I call you blessed.
