Category: Pride

When you give your life to Jesus, you are acknowledging, that you cannot earn you way to heaven, by following a bunch of rules (The Law). Your faith in Jesus, takes away any condemnation from the penalty of the Law.

I have been crucified with Christ. See notes on Ro 6:2–6 . When a person trusts in Christ for salvation, he spiritually participates with the Lord in His crucifixion and His victory over sin and death. no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. The believer’s old self is dead ( see note on Eph 4:22 ), having been crucified with Christ ( Ro 6:3 , 5 ). The believer’s new self has the privilege of the indwelling Christ empowering him and living through him ( see notes on Ro 8:9 , 10 ). gave Himself up for me. The manifestation of Christ’s love for the believer through His sacrificial death on the cross ( Jn 10:17 , 18 ; Ro 5:6–8 ; Eph 5:25–30 ).

The Bible says that pride comes before the fall. May we seek to see others, as more important than ourselves. May we live with integrity, and may we Humble ourselves in the sight of the Lord, for He will lift us up.

To those who are at the top of the mountain. BEWARE! It is God who has brought you to this place, and God who will knock you down, if you don’t give him your praise and service. Thank you Lord, for this reminder, of how easily, our wicked hearts can deceive us, if we are not filled with your word, and your spirit.
