Biblical Teaching on Self
Biblical Counsel for a ChangeSteve Gregg
Steve Gregg explores the biblical teachings on self-worth and self-image from a Christian perspective. He challenges the notion that high self-esteem and self-love are necessary for a fulfilling Christian life, arguing that such concepts cater to a self-centered attitude that needs to be repented of. Gregg emphasizes the importance of placing Christ at the center of one's identity and evaluating oneself in light of God's standards, rather than seeking validation from worldly success or personal achievements. He introduces the idea that embracing selflessness and prioritizing the interests of others leads to true joy and fulfillment in the Christian faith.
