SELF has a lot to answer for, destruction of relationships, families, communities and more. SELF is constantly being sold to the masses to solve problems. The biggest lie I believe ever constructed and it's so damaging.

Happiness, independence and freedom all structured around SELF.

People without GOD
Self-love
Self-expression
Self-confidence
Self-fulfillment
Words of the World

People With GOD
Self-surrender
Self-sacrifice
Self-denial
Self-control
Words of Scripture

A Christian needs to be aware that in our society the term SELF is at the centre of everything. In A Christians life the one place SELF cannot be is at the centre. This centre is for GOD only.

For me, its others. God is the "reason" though.

Love is the goal of all Christian instruction.

God is love.

Love is directed towards everyone and is the absolute opposite of self obsession.

Ultimately, you can know who is a Christian by that love of others that they express.

The world can never love others.

It's not "self," but the ego which creates a "false self" which we want to project to others. This false self is what's defensive and seeks only the benefit of the ego.

A Christian who follows Jesus Christ will detach from the false ego driven self, and will know and love the true self.

Jesus commandment to love your neighbor as yourself, is to love yourself, the true self God had in mind when he created you.
