Do I Have To Love Myself Before I Can Love Others?
from The Analytical Preacher - Bible Discussions For The Modern World · host Andy
It is a common saying that we have to love ourselves - and if we don’t, then learn to love ourselves - before we can love others. But if we use the Bible as our starting point, this is not necessarily true. Of course, we should understand that we have worth and value because we are made in the image of God. But we should not wait until our self esteem and self love are at a certain level before caring about others.
