1 | How important is self esteem? | Ezek 16:44 | Pastor Glenn | 89402 | ||
Below are a number of scriptures that refer to sinners with low self esteem. It is sometimes said that you must love yourself before you can love others. Is this true? How does God feel about it according to these scriptures? Eze 16 says a lot. Ezekiel 6:9 Then those of you who escape will remember Me among the nations where they are carried captive, because I was crushed by their adulterous heart which has departed from Me, and by their eyes which play the harlot after their idols; they will loathe themselves for the evils which they committed in all their abominations. Ezekiel 16:5 No eye pitied you, to do any of these things for you, to have compassion on you; but you were thrown out into the open field, when you yourself were loathed on the day you were born. Ezekiel 16:45 You are your mother's daughter, loathing husband and children; and you are the sister of your sisters, who loathed their husbands and children; your mother was a Hittite and your father an Amorite. Ezekiel 20:43 And there you shall remember your ways and all your doings with which you were defiled; and you shall loathe yourselves in your own sight because of all the evils that you have committed. Ezekiel 36:31 Then you will remember your evil ways and your deeds that were not good; and you will loathe yourselves in your own sight, for your iniquities and your abominations. |

There is quite a bit in the New Testiment as well. (KJV) Rom 14:22 Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth. Mat 22:36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law? 37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. "Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself." If one has no self esteem, it is doubtfull he could love himself. Where would this leave him where the "second great commandment" is concerned? George |

Thank you for your response George, The scriptures that you posted have to do with Christians. I wanted to point out God's "temporary" disregard for the self esteem of sinners. Sinners need to be broken to lead to repentance: Psalm 51 17The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, A broken and a contrite heart-- These, O God, You will not despise. Ezekiel 20:43 And there you shall remember your ways and all your doings with which you were defiled; and you shall loathe yourselves in your own sight because of all the evils that you have committed. Ezekiel 36:31 Then you will remember your evil ways and your deeds that were not good; and you will loathe yourselves in your own sight, for your iniquities and your abominations. Pastor Glenn |

Don't stop! Preach it, Pastor! Keep it coming. Don't sotp now that you're just getting some traction! Say something about what God hates; something about the proud; something about the meaning of true faith and how to get it... George |
