As we seek after God are we arrogant, boastful, or consider ourselves above others? Even in our faith do we look down on those we perceive to be of little faith, those who remain lost in the world, or those believers that appear to be less blessed than we are? Well God’s blessings in our life are not because of our own perfection, but come from His grace, and mercy through Jesus. Any boast we might make, or haughtiness we exhibit regarding our righteousness, goes hand in hand with all our other transgressions, it is no less founded in sin… it is the revelation that we have succumbed to the “pride of life”, and is not of God, but solely of this world.
