Proverbs 11:2 ESV
Before destruction a man's heart is haughty, but humility
comes before honor.
We must be careful in our assurance in salvation not to
think too highly of ourselves. We must remember that all salvation is by
the grace of God. We live in a time when we are taught from birth that we
must earn our way in this world. That it is your work ethic and drive
that determines each person’s success. And some project this to their own
salvation. But as this scripture reminds us, that pride in oneself is not
a good thing. In proverbs alone there are more than a dozen references
about pride and humility. And when we expanded that scripture there were
80 references to humility and over 200 involving arrogance.
We must remember that we are no better than any other
person. That we are all sinners and not worthy of God’s grace. If
we do not take this stance then how many others will we discourage from coming
to know Jesus because they see themselves as unworthy. We need to follow
that which Jesus wrote is Luke 6:37 “Judge not, and you
shall not be judged; condemn not, and you shall not be condemned; forgive, and
you will be forgiven”. Jesus came to save us all and we must
have humility in our own salvation and empathy in our interaction with
others. Remembering that none of us are worthy of God’s grace and
forgiveness yet God gives to all that ask.
