Self

Self is what Eve focused on when she chose her will over that of God's. This self serving concept of course leads to self interest, self justification of deeds, etc. which can of course lead to personal gain at the expense of others. Sin. Jesus said to reject this way of thinking and return to the will of God first, which of course is love all as self, not for self. It is called repentance and is essential to gain access to the gift of the Kingdom that Jesus died to give us (by denying self).
