In the seminar, self-esteem is the value a person on himself. It's also the same with the way you value other people.
When Jesus said, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself" (Mat. 22:39)
He declared two important truths: the worth of every individual, and the necessity of loving self as well as others.
It is a sin not esteem that which God considers his choice creation-man.
Self-esteem is necessary to adequately love others.
Reason for Low Self-Esteem
1. Feeling of guilt about sins, real or imaginary, convince some that they are worthless.
2. Never having experienced love in the home as a child makes it difficult for one to highly esteem himself.
3. Some people do not understand themselves. One cannot highly esteem someone he does not know. One is afraid to find out what kind of person he really is. He fears that he will discover that he is failure in one or more areas.
4. A person is affected by the uncertainties of life. Some of these are:
a.) Childhood problems in the home.
b.) The trauma of adolescence. There is no definite time when one moves from
childhood to adulthood.
c.) The uncertainties of educational opportunities.
d.) Security a suitable marriage partner for life.
e.) The problem of what one does when he retires.
f.) The reality of impending death.
5. A person is influenced by permissiveness. Sex barriers are lowered. There is lack of Justice in punishment for crimes. Discipline is forgotten or misdirected in the homes. Lack of respect for the home, property and rights of others is comprised.
