Best Answer

All people have a "built in" sense of survival. That means that we tend to think of our own safety and well being first. Jesus tells us that we are to love our neighbors as we love ourselves. This means that we should not put ourselves first. Jesus also said, "No greater love has a man then he lay down his life for another." When we have a true love for someone we will put their needs before ours. Yes we can be self serving but we can overcome it.
