How do we know that the importance of taking up the cross is true?

Answered in 1 source

The necessity of taking up the cross is mandated by Jesus, indicating its fundamental role in true discipleship.

Taking up the cross is a fundamental aspect of being a true disciple of Jesus. As expressed in Matthew 10:38, 'He that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.' The act of bearing one's cross symbolizes an unwavering commitment to the gospel, even in the face of persecution. It reflects the belief that standing firm in one’s faith may come at a personal cost, yet is rewarded with eternal life and fellowship with Christ. This principle emphasizes that true discipleship is marked by both sacrifice and the joy of fulfilling God’s purpose.
