We might have to leave all the stuff we have.. all the stuff we've died and cried for! All the stuff we've probably earned so hard to get... but it won't mater when we get to heaven. That's what I believe he is saying.

That we can't save ourselves and we need to give all of us to Christ to make us pure and save us. We can only be saved through Him.

In a way, I think it means that we can not do what we wan't ourselves to do. We have to do what God wants us to do. Realize that you are not in control.

We need to be willing to give everything up. HE can see in our hearts, and he knows if we'd really do it.
