Philippians 2:3 Don’t be selfish; don’t live to make a good impression on others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourself.
We are not alone. We are part of a fellowship. Members of Christ’s body. We need to learn to let go of selfishness, self-centredness and become interested in others.
TO ENJOY FREEDOM WE HAVE TO CONTROL OURSELVES
Virginia Woolf
Give glory to God. Haven’t you yet learned that your body is the home of the Holy Spirit God gave you, and that he lives within you? Your own body does not belong to you. For God has bought you with a great price. So use every part of your body to give glory back to God because he owns it. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20
Following after the Holy Spirit leads to life and peace, but following after the old nature leads to death because the old sinful nature within us is against God. It never did obey God’s laws and it never will. That’s why those who are still under the control of their old sinful selves, bent on following their old evil desires, can never please God. Romans 8:6-9
