What does it mean to "die to yourself?" Dying to oneself means to quit living for what your body desires, quit living for what the world desires, and living for Christ. To die to oneself, you know longer are alive to those who bring you away from the divine truth of Christ. Do not live by how the world expects you too, but live by how Christ wants you too. There is only one benificial way to die from this planet, and that is through Christ. .
