Matthew 16:24
Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.
Denying oneself is to deny our individuality. God created us with our individuality and we are all different yet special to Him. However our fallen nature has turned our individuality into a tool of rebellion. When we insist on doing things according to our ways, it is being individual and also it is rebelling against God. Instead, we are suppose to yield our individuality to God and choose His ways. Only then can we begin a spiritual life and walk with God.
