Love Yourself
16. October. 22

In an interview, a hermit said that it is important to love yourself enough so you can love others. To support his opinion, he said that the Bible would teach that as well. This type of interpretation is not new. Let’s see what the Bible really says in context. 

“And He said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.’  This is the great and foremost commandment. The second is like it, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”

Matthew 22:37-39

Conclusion: Jesus reminds us that God is the true source of love! So to love ourselves or others we need this unique, deep relationship with God that includes the heart, the soul and our thinking. 

He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.

John 7:38
