Jesus warned us that "whoever wants to save his life will lose it". Christ is not using the word bios here. He's not talking about our physical life. The passage is not about trying to save your skin by ducking martyrdom or something like that. The word Christ uses for life is the word psyche, the word for our soul, our inner self, our heart. He says that the things we do to save our psyche, our self - those plans to save and protect our inner life - those are the things that will actually destroy us.
(This is also a direct connection to A New Earth)
