Self-love is blinding. Namely, it’s difficult for man to see his flaws when his view of himself is so lofty. The Bible solves this dilemma by offering a pure and precise view of man—including his fallenness and flaws.

In this episode of Real Christianity, pastor Dale Partridge expounds on this biblical concept as he teaches through Romans 3:9-12.
