Bible Question:
What things do people boast about today? Why? What to you boast about? Why? Where lies human value? Why? |
Bible Answer: Dear searcher56, You ask,"what things do people boast about today?", I'd say, wisdom, might and riches, these are three things which men boast of, and trust in. This was Jerusalem's sin and I believe it is still the same in our time today. I think the answer to your question,"what to boast?", is in verse 24 of this chapter: Jer 9:24 But let him who boasts boast about this: that he understands and knows Me, that I am Lord, who exercises kindness, justice, and righteousness on earth, for in these I delight," declares the Lord.(NIV) Hope this helps.
