Matthew 16 Explained | What Does It Really Mean to Take Up Your Cross?

What did Jesus really mean when He told His followers to deny themselves, take up their cross, and follow Him?
In this Bible teaching, we explore Matthew 16 and the difference between receiving salvation as a free gift and choosing to follow Jesus as His disciple.
Jesus calls believers to surrender, obedience, and a life of following Him. But does taking up your cross mean you must earn eternal life through sacrifice and good works?
Join Accepted Inc. as we examine the context of Jesus’ words and distinguish the free gift of salvation from the cost of discipleship.
