In 2 Timothy 3:5 (KJV), the Apostle Paul warns Timothy of perilous times that will come in the last days, describing people who have “a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof.” The phrase “having a form of godliness” suggests an outward appearance of religiosity or piety, yet lacking the transformative power of true faith. This form of godliness […]
s Christians, our ultimate example is found in Jesus Christ, who embodied humility, servanthood, and sacrificial love. Narcissistic behavior stands in stark contrast to the teachings of Christ. Jesus taught his followers to prioritize compassion, empathy, and service to others above personal ambition or self-interest.

True transformation from narcissism to humility begins with surrendering our lives to Christ and allowing His Spirit to work in us.
In surrendering to God, and giving your life to Christ, one of the most profound experiences is encountering the transformative work of the indwelling of The Holy Spirit. When a person receives the Holy Spirit, their life undergoes a radical transformation, marked by spiritual rebirth, renewal, empowerment, and a newfound identity in Christ.
