“Protect Yourselves from Sin”

Jesus calls us from sinful selfishness to selfless service. We can view the world from
the perspective of selfishness or selflessness. Selfishness puts self before all and leads
to favoritism, pride and envy. Repentance, however, means despairing of self, trusting
in Christ’s substitutionary sacrifice and leading lives of selfless service modeled after
our Savior who came not to be served but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for
us.
