• Our Heavenly Father
• the Holy Spirit
• the 10 Commandments
• the prophets
• many others 

All are aimed and are wholly focused and fixated on Jesus Christ. 

Why then would it be ok for his people to relentlessly focus on self development? 

It’s not ok, it’s a major mistake!

This self we spend countless hours trying to obediently develop, was actually killed on the cross as far as God is concerned. Jesus does not want this self ‘developed’ he wants it dead so that he can live his own life through us.
