Ex-centric

[A] person's security in God frees him from constantly having to prove himself, so freeing his time and energy to use the divinely received love for the benefit of the neighbor--in word and deed, in witness and service, in availability and aid. So in his renewal man is freed from himself and becomes ex-centric.

--Hendrikus Berkhof, Christian Faith, 461
