Jesus was so sincere about morality that it is impossible for us to truly achieve self-discovery. Peter's answer was good when he said " where else could I go". But that does not mean Peter's reasonable confidence will be denied. He made a concession that seemed a little boastful. The important point in gaining eternal salvation is not that we live in a terrible state of unwarranted fear of being released or not. Why did Jesus curse the Pharisees? Because he likened them to cruel people and also turned and devour his  followers? The noble gospel is not worthwhile for the early communication of nervous fear, but for the good news. Indeed, I have so many doctrinal questions about who is in the mainstream of Christianity in America that I am getting less and less into the mainstream of society to strive for it consistently. If self-denial is an attribute of a saint, it is also natural that the saint lives in self-denial. Simply put, it is not normal to deny ourselves when we do not belong to Christ. But because we know how important self-denial is, we can easily understand ourselves. In this creative aspect of self-denial, it is a wonderful gift for us. The reason it frees us from ourselves. We no longer belong to ourselves in self-contempt. We are no longer responsible for atonement for our own sins under the corrective law. We were designed to be free from the controversial law because we were no longer alone. Instead of being very hysterical, self-discovery should make us feel that we truly belong to Christ and share in all the blessings of the Father. If one belongs to us, we are also ultimately responsible for reliable delivery. But all eternal salvation miraculously renews us by the grace of God. The icing on the cake is that we don't believe we can be saved by self-denial. Indeed, this means that we can accept every eternal battle immediately and accept it in Christ, including our sin. Because we have a right to it.
