Why is humility such a hard quality to obtain? On Sunday Night our teaching focus are the 7 Deadly Sins. This list of sins include: pride, anger, slothfulness, lust, envy, gluttony, and greed. Theologians during the middle ages concluded that these sins were common snares in the life of any individual. As you can see from the list, these sins present a challenge for any believer desiring to live a life that resembles Christ.
This past Sunday night I spoke on pride. Our culture often applauds the arrogant and their accomplishments. It is so easy to build ourselves up and take credit for something. Here is a challenging verse from the book of Romans and one that would be good remember daily.
"Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the measure of faith God has given you." Romans 12:3
Remember what John Bailey said:
Pride is confidence in self.
Humility is confidence in God.
