(2Co 2:9) “For to this end also did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether ye be obedient in all things.” For many years as a Pastor, I thought all you have to do is teach professing believers the truth and they would do it. Sadly, that is not true. Love for self should never come before love of our God and Savior. May God help us to love Him as we ought.
