Andrew Murray emphasizes the conflict between self-pleasing and the love of God, explaining that self-centeredness, whether overt or subtle, fosters pride and obstructs our ability to love God fully. He points out that true discipleship requires an understanding of our separation from the world, as exemplified by Jesus, who was not of the world and sought to instill this truth in His followers. Murray asserts that without this awareness, believers cannot experience the fullness of life intended for them, especially in preparation for spiritual revival.
