Anyone who loves their life will loose it, while anyone who hates their life in this world will keep it for eternal life. NIV.
I trying to get this verse so any pointers welcome
First off... is He is talking to sinners, saints, or both?
If He’s talking to sinners only then it kind of makes sense. In the first part, He’s saying : in this world ( I take that to mean the sin nature) anyone who is satisfied with his life, then he better watch out coz it will be taken away without Faith in Him.
In the second part, He’s saying that in the sinful nature again, (ie without faith in Him, if you are not satisfied with your life you will keep it.
I’m still learning so any help is good.Is this ok or am I barking up the wrong tree
Thanks
