What does the Bible say about selflessness?

What does the Bible say about selflessness?: "Answer: The characteristic of being selfless is one of the most important traits any Christian can have. It’s so significant that Jesus said it is the second most important of all God’s commandments: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself” (Mark 12:31; cf. Galatians 5:14). Jesus wasn’t creating a new law here; He was merely agreeing with and expounding on an Old Testament law (Leviticus 19:18). James calls this the “royal” law to emphasize its supreme value to God (James 2:8)."

How To Help Your Teen Get Closer To God — allchristiannews.com: "Keeping a teenager focused on God is important as they begin to experience proms, dating, college and a host of other changes that occur in their life. According to Gina McClain, children change as they become teenagers, and the beliefs they held onto as children begin to change.  No longer will they depend on their parent’s ideals and beliefs – they begin to seek truth on their own terms.  This is quite normal and part of the growing process, says Gina."
