The Sin of Pride

We live in an age when people think it is a good thing to praise themselves. They call it demonstrating "self esteem." Here is what God says.

Proverbs 27:2 " 2 Let another praise you, and not your own mouth; A stranger, and not your own lips."

Isaiah 64:6 "We are all infected and impure with sin. When we display our righteous deeds, they are nothing but filthy rags. Like autumn leaves, we wither and fall, and our sins sweep us away like the wind."

1 Corinthians 13:3 "And if I donate all my goods to feed the poor, and if I give my body in order to boast but do not have love, I gain nothing."

Boasting is a Sin

Boasting and swaggering is a sin, it's just that simple.

James 4:16
"As it is, you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil."

Proverbs 27:2
"Let another praise you, and not your own mouth; a stranger, and not your own lips."

Psalm 94:4
"They pour out their arrogant words; all the evildoers boast."
