Are you Ready to Give Up self to the death?
You yourself, the living person born of God, are Already in Me Dead to sin and Alive to God; but are you Ready Now, in the Power of This Death, to Mortify your members, to Give Up self Entirely to its Death of the Cross, to be Kept There until it be Wholly Destroyed?
Am I Prepared to say that the old self shall no longer have a word to say; that it shall not be allowed to have a single thought, however natural – not a single feeling however gratifying – not a single wish or work, however right?
