Lovers of ourselves

Lovers Of Ourselves
By: Robert A. Searles

      We are warned from the scriptures: “This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, truce breakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, high minded, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God; having a form of Godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.” 2 Timothy 3: 1-5.

 

      This describes the world in which we live today; but if we are truly Christians, and in love with Christ, it should not be descriptive of us.

 

      As we examine this passage of scripture, if it can be said that any of these things are true of us, then it is time that we fall on our knees and repent of our sins and get right with God. We who have at one time experienced the love and grace of God being poured out upon us ought to know better..

 

Child of God, it is expected of us as the dear children of God that we: “Continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou has learned them and that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.” Timothy 3: 14, 15.
