SPECIAL NOTE: Before studying this outline, we strongly suggest studying the lesson entitled: HOPE FOR YOUR CHALLENGES, as it is a preface to this specific challenge.

You might be looking at these questions and recognize yourself quickly. Or you may wonder why the question is being asked at all, denying your human weakness!

In actuality, any of the areas listed above are human challenges that all of us face at one time or another in our lifetime. They are considered problems of "self" which include self-belittlement, self-exaltation, self-pity, envy, jealousy, pride, covetousness and greed.

You saw how this focus on ‘self’ can be demonstrated in our carnal or fleshly nature when you looked at the chart on "choices" in the lesson entitled,  "War Has Been Declared". Adultery, hatred, jealousy, murder, anger, selfish ambition, drunkenness and the like all lead to death if they are not dealt with correctly in the Christian life.  Self-focus is the source or root of ALL other sins; consequently, it is the one the baby Christian must come to recognize first of all as he/she hopes for victory in the maturing process.

It is easy to become discouraged as we recognize these weaknesses. It's better to not focus on the weakness, but to ask, "How does God view my challenge?" And "What is His plan for me?"

By clicking on the next link you will see some possibilities for answering the first question.

It is suggested that if this is your first time through this lesson, that you work through the above links in the order they are given as there is a sequence. For your convenience, these links are offered to give you faster access for repeated reviewing.
