 |
The Starting Principle Of Discipleship The Necessary Components of Saving Faith The Gospel: Self Love Or Self Hate? The Gospel In Perspective Who’s Ashamed Of Whom? |
In this message John MacArthur expounds on whether the gospel teaches us to love ourselves or hate ourselves..
A quote from today’s sermon:-
When you become a Christian it isn’t that all of a sudden you wake up to what you could offer God. And there are many other examples in the Scriptures of those men and women who when they really saw God were literally crushed under the weight of their own nothingness, their own sinfulness. And frankly, this is absolutely alien to the culture that we live in, it’s alien to the culture based on self-love and having every whimsical desire legitimized. Anything and everything you want you should have. You can be whatever you can be. You can…you can dream your dream and live your dream. The whole goal of life is for you to desire whatever you want to desire and see it all fulfilled insisting on rights, insisting on privileges, insisting on respect, insisting on reward and honor, and affirmation. The people who enter God’s Kingdom don’t insist on any of that. They feel themselves unworthy of any of it. People who enter into God’s Kingdom are literally overwhelmed with hatred for what they are. I hate what I am, I hate what I am, I hate what I…what I am because all that I am is sin.
