Self Image and Sanctification
Biblical Counsel for a ChangeSteve Gregg
Steve Gregg challenges the widely accepted notion of self-esteem within Christianity. Drawing upon biblical teachings, Gregg argues that loving oneself is not an essential aspect of Christian discipleship and that the pursuit of self-confidence can lead to infatuation with the self. He emphasizes the need for Christians to deny themselves and replace self-centeredness with the lordship of Jesus. Gregg also critiques the influence of secular psychological theories on Christian counseling, highlighting the importance of understanding the distinctive mindset of a disciple of Christ.
