Bible Question: I did really good on a test at school and I want to tell people; however, pride is a sin. :( Why is satisfaction with my achievements a sin? |
Bible Answer: Shalom. Look at James 3:5. Pride will lead the tongue to say things that even though the words seem to be okay, they can start on a boasting kick, that other people will start to resent. (that is from a personnal exp.) It may lead others to think you are putting yourself over them....pride. If someone asks you how you did, then tell them, in a humble spirit. James 4:10" Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He shall lift you up." God bless,michael |
