Egoísmo

Por Bíblia Online –

O egoísmo é o oposto do amor cristão. Jesus nos ensinou a negar a nós mesmos, tomar a cruz e segui-lo. A vida cristã é vida de entrega, serviço e generosidade.

Negar-se a si mesmo

Se alguém quer vir após mim, negue-se a si mesmo. O caminho de Cristo é o caminho da auto-entrega e do serviço.

34 And having called the crowd with his disciples, he said to them, Whoever desires to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross and follow me.

31 And a second like it {is} this: Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is not another commandment greater than these.

20 I am crucified with Christ, and no longer live, *I*, but Christ lives in me; but {in} that I now live in flesh, I live by faith, the {faith} of the Son of God, who has loved me and given himself for me.

3 {let} nothing {be} in the spirit of strife or vain glory, but, in lowliness of mind, each esteeming the other as more excellent than themselves;

24 But I make no account of {my} life {as} dear to myself, so that I finish my course, and the ministry which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the glad tidings of the grace of God.

Viver para os outros

Ninguém busque o próprio interesse, mas o do próximo. O amor não busca os seus próprios interesses.

4 Love has long patience, is kind; love is not emulous {of others}; love is not insolent and rash, is not puffed up,5 does not behave in an unseemly manner, does not seek what is its own, is not quickly provoked, does not impute evil,

18 Let no one deceive himself: if any one thinks himself to be wise among you in this world, let him become foolish, that he may be wise.

2 Let each one of us please his neighbour with a view to what is good, to edification.

25 The liberal soul shall be made fat, and he that watereth shall be watered also himself.

2 A fool hath no delight in understanding, but only that his heart may reveal itself.

36 Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not to gain.

16 For where emulation and strife {are}, there {is} disorder and every evil thing.
