2. S A F URRENDER CTIVE OCUS

3. Matthew 16:24-27 Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what shall a man give in return for his soul? For the Son of Man is going to come with his angels in the glory of his Father, and then he will repay each person according to what he has done .

8. Ephesians 2: 1-5 So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, 2 complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. 3 Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. 4 Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. Mind Like Christ .

9. Philippians 3:14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. Mind Like Christ .

10. 2.

11. 2. Active Christian Then we will no longer be infants , tossed back and forth by the waves , and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming . Instead , speaking the truth in love , we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head , that is, Christ. From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love , as each part does its work.

Do not be conformed to this world , but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect .

15. B. Focus in End Result Matthew 16:25-26 For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it . What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul?

16. C. Focus in Eternal Things Hebrew 12:1-3 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus , the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God . Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.
