1 | why not? How does it not fit in? | Prov 23:7 | mom7x | 153593 | ||
why not? Pride has to do with having something to be proud of. If we have all fallen short, not measured up, what is there to be proud of? If our best works are like filthy rags, what is there to be proud of? Besides the fact that pride is wrong, of course... | ||||||
2 | why not? How does it not fit in? | Prov 23:7 | Bows44 | 153610 | ||
Yes...our righteousness is as filthy rags, but once saved we have become the righteouness of God in Christ Jesus. It is no longer we who live, but Christ. The old nature has been crucified with Christ. Behold all things have been made new. Romans 3:22 1 Cor. 1:30 Phil. 1:11 Phil 3:9 Romans 7:5 Romans 7:18 Galatians 5:17 Ephesians 4:22 Colossians 3:9-10 2 Cor. 5:17 Romans 6:6 Gal 2:19-20 If we put ourselves down, have a wrong attitude about ourselves or display false humility, then we discount what Christ has done. So it is not pride in ourselves, but boasting about God and what He has done. We give all the glory to God taking none for ourselves. Phil. 2:16, Phil. 3:3, Gal. 6:14, 2 Cor. 12:9 Hope this helps.

I agree wholeheartedly...We ought to teach our children to boast, or be proud, not because of what they've done, not in their accomplishments, but in what God has done in them and through them. | ||||||
