WHY NOT? WHY NOT LOVE YOURSELF? - David Jon Hill - April 1978

One of them, a lawyer, spoke up: 'Sir, which is the most important command in the law of Moses?' Jesus replied, 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul and mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. The second most important is similar: 'Love your neighbor as much as you love yourself' " (Matt. 22:36-39, The Living Bible). God loves you. You are made in His image, destined to become His son, a member of the family of God, God as God is God! But how does that process take place? First, by a recognition of God's reality and His purpose for the creation of human life. Second, through a deep, godly repentance for all the actions and thoughts you have committed which have separated you from the goal God set for you. After these conditions are met, you receive His Spirit and begin to live and think like God Himself instead of that wretched person you used to be. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
