Loving yourself isn't a sin. It's an assumption. The question is if that love is lived out the way God intended it to. People who glorify themselves without seeing any need for correction are proud and self-deceived. People who criticize themselves without pursuing any self-improvement are just as proud being set in their ways. The key to self-love is correctability.

1. The greatest obstacle between yourself and spiritual growth is you.

2. The mistake of avoiding self examination is just as damaging as being willing to criticize yourself without correction.

3. The unexamined life is not worth living, but the unlived life is not worth examining.
