SELF-ESTEEM (PRIDE) GOT SATAN OUT OF HEAVEN. SELF-ESTEEM GOT ADAM AND EVE OUT OF PARADISE.

 Self-confidence, confidence in your ability to do a good job, is very good. Totally different is self-esteem.

SELF-ESTEEM got Satan out of heaven. Self-esteem got Adam and Eve out of paradise.

Does God agree with psychology? We ALL, sooner or later, are or will become VICTIMS, deeply wounded (if not mutilated) by other people’s EGO (self-esteem). Their self-esteem grows by hurting others, they like to feel superior. 

We need LOVE.

What does God say?

SATAN’S SOLUTION

After the Forbidden Fruit of Adam and Eve, everybody inherits absolute selfishness and self-elevation (self-esteem) at birth. Observe any infant -you observe a real ego-maniak. If men were capable of creation by mere thought, they would have already destroyed the world. There is nothing more selfish and vindictive to find. Only the taming of some of that selfishness and self-esteem permits any human group to function, to tolerate each other and to survive.

Are you surprised that God does not agree with psychologists?. Who defends criminals, so they can come back and burglarize or shoot at you again? Who demands that you do NOT DISCIPLINE your children, so that monsters may grow up? It is your dear psychologists and psychiatrists, no?

They say that Freud considered SEX to be the greatest and most important motivator of all. According to him, free sex (uninhibited) was real freedom! Karl Jung insisted that PRIDE, EGO was the greatest motivator. To him, any boost of ego was a boost in happiness! They say that all the great lights in psychology and psychiatry were heavily demonized men. Read the true-life history of Freud, Jung, Maslow, etc. It is something scarcely believable.

You don't need to imagine, what promotion of irresponsible sexuality would do to society. Merely OBSERVE today the wrecked lives, the heartbreak, the destroyed marriages and demonized children all around you.

Examine your own experience. An insult is primarily something that attacks your sense of pride, no? The greater YOUR self-esteem, the greater the injury and the fiercer your response.

Most of the arguments in marriage are born out of self-esteem, injured pride, injured ego. Certainly, they do not originate out of humbleness. In practice, the less the pride, the fewer arguments you get.

What, do you suppose, would GOD say?

Philippians 2:3
 “doing nothing through faction or through vainglory, but in lowliness of mind each counting the other better than himself;”

(THAT'S WHAT GOD JUST SAID "CONSIDER THE OTHER PERSON AS BETTER AND GREATER THAN YOURSELF. HA!). Do a study in King James on Humbleness and Pride (Self-Esteem). Observe, Phil 2:6-8; 2 Tim 3:1-5; 1 Tim 3-6; Jam 4:6 and 4:10; Mat 11:28-30’ Joh 13:14, observe a cloud of references.

NOTHING WILL TAKE YOU AWAY FASTER FROM CHRIST THAN SELF-ESTEEM. IT GOT SATAN OUT OF HEAVEN; IT GOT ADAM AND EVE OUT OF PARADISE. FROM SELF-ESTEEM PROCEED MOST OF THE PROBLEMS AT WORK, MOST BIG WARS, MOST MARITAL ARGUMENTS, MOST OF KIDS' BRUTALITY TO KIDS. WE GET HURT BECAUSE WE HAVE BIG SELF-ESTEEM. THE GREATER THE THE GREATER THE PRIDE, THE GREATER IS THE HURT.

UNLIKE SEX, PRIDE (now called Self-Esteem) IS INSATIABLE, UTTERLY SELFISH AND INCREASINGLY ARROGANT. WE ALL BECOME VICTIMS OF SOMEBODY'S SELF-ESTEEM. 

WE NEED LOVE. 

GOD’S SOLUTION

Our SAVIOUR and GOD, Christ Jesus, washed the feet of His Disciples. Why? To show His Self-Esteem?

The Bible is a love story; written with blood, upon a wooden cross; the story of God's love for you.

Something most especial is waiting for those who seek the immense goodness of our Lord. God Himself said, that "The ear has not heard, and no eye has ever seen, neither can man even imagine the HAPPINESS which God prepared for those who love him" (1 Cor. 2:9, paraphrased, if you please).

With infinite love God gave us a Savior and God’s, Word, the Bible, a light unto our path and life eternal for those who really seek God. There is no forgiveness of sin without the shedding of blood. So terrible is sin, within a reality of eternal justice. Every animal sacrifice of the Old Testament spoke of the seriousness of sin and of a Savior, who would one day pay for our sins. These sacrifices were a teaching tool, not a remedy.

The only provision God gave to ransom HUMANITY is that of a KINSMAN REDEEMER.  Mere man could never do it. Only God could do it. Can you conceive or even imagine the pure, infinite greatness and goodness of our God?  Today, God Almighty pays for you.

Men are not lost because they are sinners; they are lost because they have rejected Jesus who died for them. The ultimate treasure is not creation, it is the Creator

Any CONCEIVABLE sacrifice is worthwhile to find the BIBLICAL Christ Jesus and to belong to Him. If you want Him, pray now with me, "DEAREST LORD JESUS, FORGIVE ME MY SINS. I REJECT ALL NON-BIBLICAL RELIGION. BE THE RULER OF MY LIFE. HELP ME TO LOVE YOU MORE EVERY DAY AND TO OBEY YOU WITH ALL MY STRENGTH AND TO READ YOUR BIBLE DAILY, EVERY DAY OF MY LIFE."

This is the only way to FATHER GOD. There is no other.

If you do this, and mean it, with an open heart, this prayer will never fail. It will become the greatest thing you will ever have, and it will last forever. Even in this life it will be the greatest happiness you'll know, and a light upon your path. Conversely, to FAIL in this, it will be the GREATEST DISASTER you will ever have, both here and hereafter.
