Self-righteousness is “confidence in one’s own righteousness
Self-righteousness is a very difficult sin to get me to see.
It is always a constant temptation to all of us to believe we are right.
14 each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed. ~ James 1:14(NIV)
When I lost my job, I was wrong to focus on all the difficulties instead of God and recovery, I ended up replacing honest hard work with gambling for money.
Self-righteousness was a serious problem for me, it keeps me from doing the right thing. It makes me believe in MY LIES.
I listen to the truth but did not choose to obey because all I see was my problem and I could not see a solution. At this point of time, temptation appears so attractive, it appears to be my solution when it is not.
29 Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” ~John 20:29(NIV)
If you do not repent of your self-righteous hypocrisy, you are storing up wrath for the day of judgment. ~ Roman 2:5
I was wrong.
