Colossians 3: 23 – 24 And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; (24) Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ. (KJV)
Selfishness is a way of thinking that motivates a person to always seek his or her own advantage, pleasure, or well-being without regard for the well-being of others.
Believers can avoid selfishness by purposely seeking the well-being of others.
A Believer should never esteem his or her life and purposes above another person’s or above the plans and purposes of God
The temptation to be self-centered or selfish must be resisted. A self-centered person always has an issue with pride.
James 4: 6 – 8 But He gives more grace. Therefore He says: “GOD RESISTS THE PROUD, BUT GIVES GRACE TO THE HUMBLE.” (7) Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. (8) Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. (NKJV)
A self-centered or selfish person will have difficulty with pride and therefore will have difficulty in his love walk and his relationship with Jesus.
