It’s All About Love 2: Love Yourself
Manage episode 447289869 series 1219620
To love your neighbor as yourself, you must first love yourself. Although sometimes it may be hard, you should love yourself because you’re made in God’s image, you are an awesome human, and you are loved by God. Instead of falling into arrogance or self-loathing, focus on others without neglecting self-care, and you’ll strike the right balance.
Mark 12:29-31 Rabbi Jesus said the greatest commandments are to love God and then to love your neighbors as yourself. Next week we’ll look at loving your neighbor, but today let’s consider loving yourself.
Why should you love yourself?
1. Created in God’s image (Genesis 1:27) 2. Humans are awesome (Psalm 139:13-14) 3. God loves you (1 John 4:7-10; Romans 5:6-8)
There are two ditches on either side of the narrow path of self-love.
1. Arrogance: thinking you’re better than others 2. Self-Loathing: thinking you’re worthless
The great secret to self-love is focusing on others. In other words, loving others is a major way to love yourself. Perhaps that’s why Jesus said to love your neighbor as you love yourself.
Ephesians 5:29 Although self-care may have been obvious to ancient people, it’s easy to work ourselves into the ground in modern times.
