Selfishness

Philippians 2:3 - [Let] nothing [be done] through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.


What does the Bible say about selfishness??? What does it say in regards to thinking of yourself more highly than others?


 Romans 12:3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith. 
1 Corinthians 8:2And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know.

1 Corinthians 10:12  Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall. 

 Galatians 6:3 For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.  Luke 9:48 And said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this child in my name receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me receiveth him that sent me: for he that is least among you all, the same shall be great.

 

 

What does it say about you that you can't see outside of yourself? So much of the world is walking around with blinders, only worrying about them and there's, only worrying about what they can do for their house, for their family, in their job. What about those around you?? What about those people that The Most High has put in your life? How do you minister to them? How do you give to them? How do you take care of them? What kind of Kingdom work are you putting in? Any????

Proverbs 8:13 The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.

 Proverbs 16:18  Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.

 1 Corinthians 13:1-13 - Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become [as] sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.

John 15:13 - Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
