Hi Ken
Your question is not new. It is perhaps more than 2000 years old! So it has merit if age has anything to do with anything!
Welcome to the BTF!
Don’t mind me! Here are a few thoughts that might help give you a few pointers to the Truth you seek.
Humans are selfish.
Being selfish, was not who Jesus is.
The “sentient” being of Jesus is un-selfish. He laid down His Life.
The self of humanity is the beast. Humanity is the 666. “You are the Beast.” L Ray Smith
The selfishness of the human being, is the beastliness of anti Christ.
Emotions of the selfish, are of one's human self. God is not human.
God is a state of Being love, joy and peace that are some of the good fruits of His Spirit in us.
God is love that doesn’t end or change or get tired. The Son of God is the life, of Love. Out of Love, Jesus was made. Christ Jesus shows us the way the truth and the LIFE.
The awareness of Christ is as the Faith Of Christ, awake or, if you like, ever aware, looking at or conscious of His Father God. As God does so does Jesus. The two are one.
Humans on the other hand are anti-love and anti-life. The evidence is the state of the world that humans have made and live in.
Love is not selfish. Selfishness is an attribute of being human. There is no such thing as love-ish.
The good news is that humanity will be saved and shall become as un-selfish as God is and as alive as is the Son of God that is Christ in you the hope of Glory.
