A person of faith 'has to give up himself' depending on the word of the Lord. Giving up one's self means giving up all of one's abilities, such as directions, talents, family, and wealth. Only when the Lord tells us to use these things can they be used.
If we do not give up on ourselves, the Lord will not intervene in our lives. It is because the word of the Lord has no power to those who live 'according to my will and according to my own stubbornness'. Therefore, the Lord said, "If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow him."

He said that if you don't throw it away while you know you have to throw it away, it's a sin. Faith without knowledge is said to be a dead faith without a soul. Our faith must be alive. Only then has the ability.
If you do not throw away the worldly things, you will not get the heavenly things You must give up the joys of the world and the peace that the world gives you in order to attain the peace of heaven.
The apostle Paul gave up everything that he thought was useful in order to fulfill the mission entrusted to him by Jesus. In order to fulfill the mission the Lord had entrusted to him, he did not consider his life as precious in the slightest (Acts 20:24).
