More Precious Than the Whole World
Mark 8:33~38 And calling the crowd to him with his disciples, he said to them, “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 and the gospel's will save it. (34~35)

No matter how diligent you live, it is no use if you lose your life. However, Jesus spoke about the cross, which was the value of the Gospel that was much more important than life. The Gospel is worthy enough for you to deny everything you have and you can find this value in the midst of deep prayer. What will you discover?
1. The Reason to Stake Your Life That Is More Precious Than the Whole World
A walk of faith is discovering what is more precious than the whole world. Moses relinquished all the fame he had gained in Egypt. However, the Israelites couldn’t let go of the place where they had eaten and lived and didn’t have any problems. Moses, the leader of the Exodus; Joshua and Caleb who gave their covenantal confession among the twelve spies; and David and Obadiah uncovered what was more precious than the whole world and even their own lives. Through them, God fulfilled His covenant and works.
2. The Method and Content for Staking Your Life
The Israelites who staked their lives to escape from Egypt built a tabernacle. During the constant onslaught of Assyria, Aram, and Philistia, God prepared the temple through David. When the Israelites were taken captive by Babylon, God allowed the temple to be rebuilt. This is the method of spiritual war. The temple is a relevant place where people from the 237 nations can gain strength. Moreover, the content for staking your life is saving the 237 nations with the covenant of Christ who solved all problems, the Kingdom of God, and “only Holy Spirit.” God desires a church and a system that can fight the spiritual war against Satan who is before the 237 nations of the world.
When you discover the value of what God desires and the work that He will do, then fear disappears. Today, uncover that value that isn’t afraid of even death.
[Covenantal Prayer] Dear God, may I stand as a witness who knows the reason and the value of staking my life for Your covenant. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

[Deep Questions] Q. Have You Realized This?
More precious than the whole world, “Life.”
Inside everyday life where you live,
God gave you true life
that is incomparable with the physical life you possess.
Jesus’ life that completely defeated the works of Satan, evil spirits, fate, and background of Hell is in you.
That is why you are important.
