1coritios 1:10
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly united in one mind and in one mind.
Colossians 2: 2
2 so that their hearts may be comforted, united in love, until they reach all the riches of full understanding, in order to know the mystery of God the Father, and of Christ.
Today I want to share this advice with all: Reject selfishness, because it does not come from God.
Egoism: it means an excessive appreciation that a person has for himself, and that makes him understand disproportionately his own interest, without worrying about others.
The Word of God makes clear what are the fruits of the spirit and what are the fruits of the flesh and the apostle Paul inspired by the Holy Spirit advise us to practice what...
In all the Biblical counsels we find an exhortation about the subject of Christ in our lives so that He will be the one to lead it. Well, when Christ directs our life we let ourselves be molded by his word and we do not fall into this type of mistakes.
About this the apostle Paul advised: "I say, then, by the grace that is given to me, to each one who is among you, that he has no higher self-concept than he should have, but think of himself with sanity. , according to the measure of faith that God distributed to each one ". (Romans 12: 3)
If you are going through or have ever fallen into the egoism of thinking only about your needs without taking into account those that live with you, I remind you that this attitude is antibiotic, it is an attitude of rebellion, self-centeredness to believe that we are the only ones that we all deserve and that those around us do not deserve anything.
We must remember that we have been created in the image and smear of God, and each of us has a vital role to play in this life.
God has given gifts and talents to each one of us, but we must let God direct our steps, because each one of us has the right to develop them.
We need to learn to consider the other and know that each one is an expert in something and when we join the author of life, we may achieve and develop our gifts more broadly without falling into selfishness and believing that we are the master of the world.
Selfishness is the mother of all sins, because all sin derives from this sin, since Jesus always taught that we should love our neighbor.
As Christians we have to crucify the SELF and let it die in our lives if there is this evil.
1 Corinthians 10:24 advises us: 4 Let no one seek his own good, but that of the other.
Selfishness has destroyed ministries, churches, family institutions ... and all for an "I" that does not stop dying.
Remember that when the "I" is crucified, blessings can flow through you to others, and God can use you in a great way so that you can be a blessing to many people.
Selfishness has destroyed capable people to develop gifts that God has placed in their hands and all for an excessive selfishness to want what another has.
But remember that the people of God must be united in one mind, love and spirit so that they can be comforted by God.
