Episode notes
Love Yourself To Love Others
- The Bible connects loving others to loving yourself, implying self-love as a foundation to love others fully.
- Receiving love from God is essential to see oneself rightly and embrace true love for others.
Connected To Love's Source
- We are made in God's image, so connecting to Him connects us to love itself.
- True identity and love flow when we connect and receive love from our Creator, the source of love.
Sin Distorts Self-Perception
- Sin made us wrongly aware and judgmental of our own bodies, bringing shame and self-consciousness.
- This distorted self-perception causes attempts to cover or fix what isn’t truly wrong.
