How do we know that eternal life requires self-denial?

Answered in 1 source

Eternal life requires self-denial as taught in Mark 8:34-38, emphasizing the necessity of forsaking the world.

Mark 8:34-38 clearly articulates that to gain eternal life, one must deny themselves, take up their cross, and follow Christ. This teaching underlines the central conflict between a self-serving life and one committed to Christ. Faith involves submitting to God's sovereignty over all aspects of life, which requires a conscious choice to prioritize adherence to God’s will over personal desires. True faith is incompatible with a self-centered existence; it manifests in a life dedicated to the glory of God even when facing adversity.
