THE KNOWLEDGE OF SELF

 

The Knowledge of Self

 

          I would like to start this essay off by asking a question.  What does it mean to have a knowledge of self?  The answer is the definition of the word self consists of the physical, mental, emotional, and environmental and a psychological entity that has a whole lot to do with God.  In Jeremiah 1:5 says before I formed you inside of the womb, I knew you.  I have sanctified you and ordained you as a prophet to the nations.  When it comes to our physical self, this has a whole lot to do with our body.  What the human body looks like and how we feel about ourselves personally.  When it comes to our mental self, this has an impact on universal feelings.  What we actually feel like among members of the rest of society is derived from the center of the brain called the conscious mind. 

          Romans 12:2 says do not conform to the patterns of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.  The question that you need to ask yourself is how do you feel about yourself today?  The environmental self has a lot to do with our community, society at large, and the things that we have learned from our families.  It also has a lot to do with our culture, friends, education, and church.  It has a lot to do with how well we adapt to our environment or city where we grew up right now.  A knowledge of self has a lot to do with the opinions of others. 

 

          The social self is the way we feel about ourselves every single day of our lives.  The social self has a lot to do with our relationship with Jesus Christ.  This has a lot to do whether or not we have accepted Jesus Christ as our personal savior.  Is God the center point of our life?  The social self consists of the inner person that communicates with us each day.  This inner person is called the Holy Spirit.  I call the Holy Spirit the persona; the inner person that communicates with us by giving us instruction and guidance throughout our daily lives.  The social self has a lot to do with the guidance that we have received from our parents.  A knowledge of self has a lot to do with our identities with ourselves and a solid foundation in Jesus Christ. 

 

          A knowledge of self has a lot to do with the emotions and psychological aspects in our personal lives.  The physical self on the other hand, has a lot to do with development within the womb of our mothers.  The knowledge of self is three fold.  It is determined how long we are going to live on earth by God.  A knowledge of self is determined and decided by God.  According to Psalms 56:8 says; Your number my wanderings, put my tears in your bottle, are they inside of your book?  This verse means that God is responsible for our actions, ways, and our course of action.  Psalms 139:16 says; your eyes saw my substance being yet unformed, and in your book they all were written, the days fashioned for me when as yet there were none of them.

 

 


 This verse means that God knows exactly how long we are going to live on earth.  The knowledge of self is determined by God in advance.  Therefore, man cannot determine he is going to live on earth.  Man’s time on earth is temporary.  Philippians 3:20 says for our citizenship is in heaven from which we also eagerly wait for the savior the Lord Jesus Christ.

  What is Forgiveness Part 2 By Anthony Joseph Hopkins May 8, 2021           Forgiveness Part #2 is simply about asking a very important question.   How many times shall I forgive my brother?   The answer is 70*7 = 490 times.   I will admit that I have to work on this issue myself.   This is simply because people has been cussing me out as of late.   I know that I have to forgive each person 490 times.     This is the truth.   I know that it is very hard for me to forgive each person 490 times.   I know that each person must forgive me a total of 490 times.   I have had one of my AA Sponsee cuss me out to my face.   I did not say or do anything to him personally.

Matthew 5:23-24

Matthew 5:23-24!! What does this means to all people?         Good Day Everyone!! This is an essay that pertains to the Beatitudes inside of Matthew 5 th -7 th  Chapters.  I have selected two of the Bible verses just to place emphasis.  First, I want to say that this is not very easy for some people to apologize to another person, especially after you have done something wrong to that person.  For me personally, I want to inform all of you that my baby brother called me a homosexual because I am responsible for paying my other brother and a friend’s phone bill each month.  I understand that my brother called me out of my name without just cause.         Next, I want to inform everyone that my brother was out of line for calling me out of my name.  I have confronted him about the problem, but he refuses to reconcile.  Therefore, I am praying for him each and every single day of the we...
