What does the Bible say about denying ourselves?

Answered in 1 source

Denying ourselves means placing no trust in our own righteousness and fully relying on Christ for salvation.

Denying ourselves, as stated in Matthew 16:24, means giving up any reliance on our own glory or moral efforts in the pursuit of salvation. True faith begins when we recognize that our flesh contributes nothing to our justification before God. We must deny any self-righteousness and instead embrace the righteousness of Christ alone. This denial involves a total surrender of our will to follow Christ, emphasizing His sacrifice as the sole means of our salvation and cleansing from sin.
