How do we know that Jesus requires total allegiance from His disciples?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus demands total allegiance, as indicated in Luke 14:26-27, where He says one must love Him above all else to be His disciple.

The requirement for total allegiance is clearly articulated by Jesus in Luke 14:26-27. He states that anyone who does not 'hate' their own family or even their own life cannot be His disciple. This hyperbolic language underscores the necessity of supreme devotion to Christ above all other loyalties. Furthermore, Jesus emphasizes that those who do not carry their own cross and follow Him are also unworthy of being His disciples. This idea is further supported by passages like Matthew 10:37, which conveys the same message regarding the primacy of Christ in a believer's life.
