What can we say about this “True Self? ”

True Self • We are created by God for His pleasure and for the good of mankind • Our soul seeks to find fellowship with God and to obey His will • We are uniquely gifted by God to achieve His purpose • God trains His people in His ways for his Work

False Self • We do not truly prioritize God in our work, but seek to please ourselves or others • We do not bow down and follow our own will • We use our giftedness for ourselves • We are trained in the ways of the world

The Path to Sainthood • Get close to God • Comply totally with His ways • Use your giftedness as He intended • Accept your assignment • Go out and complete your assignment
