What is selfishness?
Selfishness is self-centeredness, self-regard, self-interest, greediness. Selfishness is wanting something so bad that it doesn’t matter to you whether it is an inconvenience to others.
I am writing about this because I have been struggling with this issue lately... I have not been thinking about what others may need or want and It has made me sin on a few occasions.
Philippians 2:3-5
Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
When we are selfish, we are looking to our own things, not esteeming others as more important than ourselves. When we are selfish, we fight for our own rights. Jesus was not selfish. He is the ultimate example to us as being self-less!
