Self-preservation is a natural human response in the face of danger, adversity, and struggle. When we observe a life that is totally abandoned to a cause no matter the personal cost, it causes us to marvel. Paul pressed fervently forward in faith and to the finish undeterred by the pleadings of those who loved him. Paul truly loved Christ more than his own life. He provides for us an example of living a life with no self-preservation.
Matthew 10:37–38 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. 38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.
