       What does it mean to be self-seeking? Well, a person who is self-seeking is a person who fails to obey both the first and second greatest commandments. You know what they are. We are to love God first with our whole beings, and then what? We are to love our neighbors as ourselves. If we are self-seeking first, we don’t do either one of those things. And, and, the person is also one who does not obey God’s truth, the real truth of the world. What does this look like? Well, it is simply one who practices sin, one who follows their instinctive, fleshly impulses and selfish desires. It is one who lives in sin, doing things that are offensive to God, regularly practicing those things Paul outlined in Romans chapter 1. That’s why we like to see a difference in character, a difference in behaviors, in a person claiming to be a Christian. That’s how we have confidence a person is truly born-again.
