THE CORRECT ATTITUDE TOWARD YOURSELF
Jesse M. Hendley
Mark 8:36

I want to talk about YOU, this morning, in the light
of God's Holy Word.

You know, God's Word says, SAVE THYSELF. God's Word
says you are to love your own soul. You are to love
others AS YOU LOVE YOURSELF. So, "self" is an
important thing.

The word "I" is a dangerous word, in many cases. A
person can be egocentric; that is, "I" centered,
centering all thought and affection and everything
else on self. On the other hand, a person can forget
to love himself enough to save his own soul! What

let sin touch you. Keep thyself from impurity that is
in the world today.

God's Word says to SAVE thyself. There is a sense in
which we can save ourselves. Of course, there is no
Saviour but Jesus. He died for our sins. But I want to
remind you that Jesus can't save you IF YOU DON'T, LET
HIM, You must apprehend Jesus. You must lay hold of
what He did for you if you are to be saved. Save
thyself. Friend, have you saved yourself? If you saw
yourself drowning, wouldn't you try to save yourself?
Aren't you valuable to yourself? Why lose your ...
