Christian Action, 7of39

~ Do Not Be Proud ~

Series Note  ~  In just the single chapter of Romans 12 the Apostle Paul gave believers a list of 39 things which are part of the Christian life which pleases God.  This chapter is crying out saying, “If you name Jesus Christ as your Savior then please act like a Christian!”  It is Paul’s “To Do List” for us.  The key principle is that while you and I cannot change God’s character (who He really is) we have the clear potential to damage His reputation (what others think He is). 

Scripture to Meditate On  ~  “For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith.  For as we have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function, so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another.  Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us” (Romans 13:3-6a).

Comment  ~  Since God, Himself, has distributed natural talents and spiritual gifts to the individual members of His body where is the logic of any pride?

Related Passages  ~  “These six things the Lord hates, yes, seven are an abomination to Him: a proud look [the very first on the list], a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that are swift in running to evil, a false witness who speaks lies, and one who sows discord among brethren” (Proverbs 6:16-19).  While I don’t have room to develop the concept here I believe that all seven of these sins, in fact all sins, have a root in pride.
