About This Quote

Many Christians have a deep sense of self-loathing. They are addicted to self-hatred. Self-hatred can be seen in any number of destructive behaviors, including the use of pornography, lying, gossiping, stealing, cheating or failing to forgive. The apostle Paul said that “there is no fear in love” (1 John 4:18).

But too often self-hatred is the dominant malaise crippling Christians and stifling their growth in the Holy Spirit. Jesus said, “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also” (Matthew 6:21). If you are addicted to self-hatred, it is time to turn away from it and toward God.
