| Christian neighbor-love
As a Christian, I do not love myself anymore, so what am I to do with "Love your neighbor as yourself"?
Could these verses be relevant? Quote:
John 3:16
16"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.
| Quote:
Matthew 26
39And He went a little beyond them, and fell on His face and prayed, saying, "My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; yet not as I will, but as You will."
| Quote:
Luke 17:33
Whoever seeks to keep his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life will preserve it.
| Quote:
1 Corinthians 6:19
Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own?
| Quote:
2 Corinthians 4:11
For we who live are constantly being delivered over to death for Jesus' sake, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh
| Quote:
Philippians 1:20-22
20according to my earnest expectation and hope, that I will not be put to shame in anything, but that with all boldness, Christ will even now, as always, be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death.
21For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.
