~It starts with self~

"Awareness to enlightenment...it starts with self."


 
God started all things (Creation, The Plan of Redemption) and our response (After hearing the Gospel) is God's "calling us out of darkness into His marvelous light" (1 Peter 2:9) and then "the working out of our salvation with fear and trembling" as sanctification -- which is cross embracing or dying to one's self. It is the realization of what Christ did in the gospels and "becoming like our Master" (Matt 10:25), and therefore the end, the result or the goal (telos) of His work or plan.


"But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, to proclaim the virtues of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light. 10Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy" (1 Peter 2:9-10).
