Are we commanded to "LOVE OURSELVES?"
- This scripture is not giving a command to ‘love thyself’ but could be translated ‘AS (you are loving) yourself.’
Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Matt 19:19
- The problem is we love ourselves TOO much.
2. The law was summed up in 2 commandments not 3 (which would be ‘love thyself‘).
Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
This is the first and great commandment.
And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. Matt 22:36-40
3. We are commanded to DENY SELF, putting it to DEATH on the cross.
Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. Matt 16:24-25
