Selfishness and fear are two primary obstacles to agape in the life of the Believer.
Some Christians allow selfishness to stop them from walking in the unconditional, unqualified love of God
Self-centered people invariably struggle with depression and oppression. They can’t sleep. Their relationships are shallow and unsatisfying. They are constantly thinking only of themselves and not of others.
The lifestyle of love is exactly the opposite. Love says don’t seek your own interest first but the interest of others. Love says to think the best of every person and take no thought to an evil done to me. Love says to bear one another’s burdens. Love says if you want to be great be the servant of all.
Matthew 20: 25 – 28 And Jesus called them to Him and said, You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great men hold them in subjection [tyrannizing over them]. (26) Not so shall it be among you; but whoever wishes to be great among you must be your servant, (27) And whoever desires to be first among you must be your slave– (28) Just as the Son of Man came not to be waited on but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many [the price paid to set them free]. (Amplified Classic)
