The ROOT of all sin is SELFISHNESS
Genesis 3:1-7
1
Now the serpent was the most cunning of all the wild animals
that the LORD
God had made. He said to the woman, "Did God really say,
'You can't eat from any tree in the garden '?" 2
The woman said to the serpent, "We may eat the fruit from
the trees in the garden. 3 But about the fruit of the
tree in the middle of the garden, God said, 'You must not
eat it or touch it, or you will die. ' " 4 "No! You
will not die," the serpent said to the woman. 5 "In
fact, God knows that when you eat it your eyes will be
opened and you will be like God, knowing good and evil."
6 Then the woman saw that the tree was good for food and
delightful to look at, and that it was desirable for
obtaining wisdom. So she took some of its fruit and ate
[it]; she also gave [some] to her husband, [who was] with
her, and he ate [it]. 7 Then the eyes of both of them
were opened, and they knew they were naked; so they sewed
fig leaves together and made loincloths for themselves.
SELFISHNESS begins with our ATTITUDE
I deserve what YOU HAVE because of who I AM
I deserve what I HAVE because of what I’VE DONE
I deserve MORE than what OTHERS have because of what I’VE
SUFFERED
