Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. John 12:24 NASB1995

Just as the grain of wheat must die to bear more fruit, so we as believers must die to bear eternal fruit. Die to MY way, MY will, MY life.
Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

The Christian has been crucified with Christ and now lives in Christ. It is HIS way, HIS will, HIS life, His passion.
He who loves his life loses it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it to life eternal. John 12:25 NASB1995

Staying connected to God is necessary for Him to increase, and for us to decrease.
