Mark 8:35
" For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel's will save it."
Saving your own skin is not the actual goal. That's the initial draw, but shouldn't be the earthly life-long mission. The real mission that will keep you going will be the higher purpose/ calling of your life. Hebrews 5:12-14 " For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the first principles of the oracles of God; and not solid food. for everyone who partakes only of milk in is unskilled in the word of righteousness,for he is a babe. But solid food belongs to those who are full age, sense exercised to discern both good and evil."
Read your bible, this is how we do this Don't stay the same during you whole life w/God. Eat food, prepare food, give to others food! knowing the Lord to save yourself is not enough, you need to love God and grow in Him to find true salvation. For knowing the Lord and knowing His existent is not enough for even the demons and the devil himself knows He is there.
James 2:19" You believe that there is one God. You do well . Even the demons believe and tremble!."
APPLICATION: You have to reflect that you love and have faith in the Lord and all His truth. just saying He is read with your month to save yourself from hell, means nothing. That isn't salvation. Actions speak louder then words.
