[Dr. Eckleburg]

Dear Sister, A Christian is someone who hates sin and evil with a passion and loves goodness to the point in which he/she humbles themselves for the good of others to be willing to drink death like water. This ,my Dear Sister is what taking up the cross means.

"Humbling ourselves" is what the cross means?

Oh, my. And here I thought the cross was about Christ humbling Himself for us.

"Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:

But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:

And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:

That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;

And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father

Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure." -- Philippians 2:5-13

Dear Sister, we are to imitate Christ in His humility for the good of others.

Even If that means laying one'e life down to follow what God has willed for our lives.

The Glory always goes to Christ for those who are willing to suffer for the good of others.

Dear Sister,Do you believe that a soldier who throws himself on a grenade to save another is being Christlike or is he trying to steal equality with God by doing so?
