In this insightful Bible study, Eduardo Elizondo delves into the challenging and often misunderstood verse in Luke 14 vs. 26, where Jesus states that one must "hate his father and mother, and wife, and children, and brothers and sisters, and, in addition, his own life also" to be His disciple. Eduardo focuses particularly on the latter part, exploring what it truly means to 'hate our own life also'. Drawing parallels with the story of Job, a righteous man who underwent refining by God, Eduardo highlights the increased wisdom and understanding Job gained about himself.

The discussion then moves to Romans 7, where the Apostle Paul discusses the same topic of 'hating our own life'. Eduardo emphasizes Paul's acknowledgment of his own internal struggle, stating, "For the good that I desire to do, I am not doing; but the evil that I do not desire to do, this I am doing". This internal conflict reveals the inherent "law of sin" within our members that wars against the law of our mind. As Eduardo explains, this is not an excuse for sin but a crucial step in understanding our need for God's grace and the transformative power of the Holy Spirit. He connects this to Job's eventual self-abhorrence and repentance, emphasizing that recognizing our own lack of inherent goodness apart from God, as also expressed by King David in Psalm 16:2, is a vital part of the conversion process. Join Eduardo Elizondo as he unpacks these profound scriptures, revealing the path to true discipleship through recognizing and hating our own sinful nature and desiring God's nature instead.
