Quotes about Self-life

Our desires are the roots of the self-life in all of us. And until we, in conjunction with the grace of God, have made an intentional decision not to allow our desires to be the center of our lives, we can never have the kind of faith that will lead us to the life of abundant sufficiency in God.
- Dallas Willard
The self-life manifests itself in self-indulgences, such as self-love, self-will, self-seeking, self-pride... It takes self-denial to turn off the television and spend [time] in prayer.... and read the Scriptures... the only object in life is that Christ may be honored.
- Billy Graham
The attitude of saints toward their possessions most assuredly signifies whether they continue to preserve their self life or whether they have consigned it to death.
- Watchman Nee
A new life from above, the life of Christ, must take the place of the self-life; then alone can we be conquerors.
- Andrew Murray
