The Danger of Self

I believe that our most dangerous threat doesn't come from outside, our greatest enemy is inside, our greatest enemy is our SELF. Sir Thomas Brown, an English physician, philosopher and writer fittingly put it when he says, “Every man is his own greatest enemy, and as it were his own executioner.” Are you killing your self? The Joy of living is experienced in a selfless life. However, we live in a self-fixated world and as such, many find it difficult to go against the status quo. In fact, those who live selfless lives are seen as foolish and lacking ambition. I (My old self, NLT.) have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body (flesh, KJV.), I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me (Galatians 2:20 NIV). This is a declaration that we must constantly make. We MUST give our SELF away.
