LOSS OF ALL THINGS
-
Matthew 8:20
“And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes has holes,
and
-
the
birds of the air have nests; but the Son of
man hath not where to lay his head.”
-
Matthew
10:35-39; Luke 12:52-53 “For I am come to
set a man at variance against this father,
and the daughter against her
mother, and the daughter-in-law
against her mother-in-law. And a
man’s foes shall be they of his own
household. He that t father or mother more
than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son
or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not
worthy of me. He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he
that loseth his life for my sake shall find
it.”
-
Matthew
16:24-25 “Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any
man will come after me, let him deny himself,
and take up his cross, and follow
me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it:
and whosoever will lose his life for my
sake shall find it.”
-
Matthew 19:29
“And everyone that hath forsaken
houses, or brethren, or
sisters, or father, or
mother, or wife, or
children, or lands,
for my name’s sake, shall inherit everlasting
life.”
-
Mark
10:28-30; Mark 8:34; Luke 9:23-24 “Then Peter began
to say unto him, Lo, we have left
all, and have followed thee. And Jesus answered
and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath
left houses, or
brethren, or sisters, or
father, or mother, or
wife, or children, or
lands, for my sake, and the
gospel’s, but he shall receive an
hundredfold now in this time,
houses, and brethren,
sisters, and mothers
and children, and lands,
with persecutions; and in the
world to come eternal life.”
-
Luke 14:26-27
“I any man come to me, and hate not his
father, and mother, and
wife, and children,
and brethren, and sisters,
yea, and his own life also, he
cannot be my disciple. And whosoever doth not
bear his own cross, and come after me,
cannot be my disciple.”
-
Philippians
3:8 “Yea doubtless, and I count all things but
loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ
Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of
all things, and do count them but dung,
that I may win Christ.”

II
Corinthians 6:4-10 “But in all things approving
ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in
afflictions, in necessities,
in distresses. In stripes,
in imprisonments, in tumults,
in labors, in watchings
in fastings; by pureness, by knowledge, by
longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love
unfeigned, by the word of truth, by the power of God, by the
armor of righteousness on the right hand and on the left, by
honor and dishonor, by evil report and
good report; as deceivers,
and yet true; as unknown, and yet
well known; as dying, and,
behold, we live, as chastened,
and not killed; as sorrowful, yet
always rejoicing; as poor yet making many rich; as
having nothing, and yet
possessing all things.”
-
II
Corinthians 11:23-28 “Are they ministers of Christ?
(I speak as a fool) I am more; in labors
more abundant, in stripes above measure, in
prisons more frequent, in deaths
oft. Of the Jews five times received I forty stripes
save one. Thrice was I beaten with rods,
once was I stoned, thrice I suffered
shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in
the deep; In journeyings often,
in perils of waters, in perils of
robbers, in perils by mine
own countrymen, in
perils by the heathen, in perils in the
city, in perils in the
wilderness, in perils in the sea,
in perils among false brethren; in
weariness and painfulness, in
watchings often, in hunger
and thirst, in fastings
often, in cold and nakedness.
Beside those things that are without, that which cometh upon me
daily, the care of all the churches.”
-
Hebrews
13:12-13 “Wherefore Jesus also, that he might
sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered
without the gate. Let us go forth therefore unto him
without the camp, bearing
his reproach. For here have we no continuing
city, but we seek one to come.”
