Luke 10:27
27He answered: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind' and, 'Love your neighbor as yourself."
Before you can love your neighbor as yourself, you need to Love the Lord with all you heart, with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind--
Hello, for Eternal Salvation, that means we must empty ourselves of self, and humbly submit yourself to the throne of Grace and die to self and repent and believe on Jesus for Salvation.
But in our daily walk of Sanctification, we must daily die to our idolatry's and worship of self.
Notice the times that we get angry at someone, why do we get angry? Did they get in our way, did they treat us with contempt, and ignore us? Did they treat us as if they were better than us? Did they treat us as if they were okay, and you were not okay? As if you have a problem and they do not?
All this activity under the sun and responses under the sun is based on a Horizontal plane--When we view our worth and sense of well being by how others treat us and exclude our standing before the presence of the Lord, we then become the Devils playing ground and give him a foothold on our emotions because we initially react.
Instead, we need to Pray, and submit ourselves in Prayer before God and constantly pray and overcome evil with prayer, the more we are tempted to sin the more we should pray. The more other people's sinful behavior attacks us, the more we need to pray and submit ourselves to Christ our stronghold and strength! Submit to prayer and you will discover His Grace sufficient for the need of the moment and the peace of God which transcends all understanding will guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus! Philippians 4:7
