Loving God is invisible, NOT:
-It is an outward manifestation, the way you treat others will be evidence.
The reason some people are scared to commit their lives to God, is because they are afraid.
- It not due to a lack of belief, but the fear that they will erase self-love, because they will have to give up some of the things they like doing.
- But.. on the contrary, when you give your life to Jesus, you truly find self-love because of God's love for yourself.
Self-love is wanting to diminish pain, and achieve happiness
- Eventually, one realizes that self-love is a result of God's love
- Suicide is one's attempt to escape the intolerable and is a "misguided act of self-love"
The root of sin:
- Bring prideful -> not seeing God as the root of joy, desire to be happy without God.
The book clarified that it is not that self-love is bad, just keep in mind that we should use our self-love to focus on Him.
