The ROOT of ALL EVIL

The root of all evil and the cause of sin
is selfishness.
It is because people want to satisfy and gratify themselves.
For that reason they don't care about others.
They don't care what they have to do
to get what they want
to gratify themselves.
They steal, lie, cheat, murder, divorce, destroy other people
just to gratify the lusts of their flesh.
Dear friends, that is why Jesus said that:
“He who wishes to preserve his life will lose it
but he who loses his life for My sake, will find it”
We need to repent of selfishness
of self gratification
of wanting to have MY LIFE
of MY RIGHTS
and SUBMIT that to Jesus Christ.
Because He gave up everything
for you and me
He gave up His life
so that we can have eternal life
IF we in turn
give up our selves, our rights to our selves
and live our lives to please Him.
Selfishness is the cause of broken marriages
of people stealing, murdering others
it is because THEY want to be gratified.
They want THEIR LIFE,
they want things THEIR WAY!
They rebel against God
they don't care for others
they have got no love for anybody
but themselves.
We have got to repent of SELF
of SELFISHNESS
That is the root of sin
that is the root of rebellion against God.
If we want to enter the Kingdom of heaven
we must live to please Jesus
We must love our neighbor
not destroy and exploit them
but love them as Jesus also LOVES US
AND THEM.
We need to repent, friends
and the love of Christ must live in us.
Its only possible to please God
if we repent and turn away
totally from ourselves
and our selfish desires
and seek the will of God.
Seek to please Jesus.
Obey Him every day of our lives,
do what He commanded
then we will have LIFE,
here and for eternity!
The root of all evil is SELFISHNESS.
Let us focus on Jesus
and repent of ourselves.
Let us obey Him
seek to please Him,
and He will give us LIFE ABUNDANTLY
and ETERNAL LIFE.
May Jesus bless you.
