Boast

a WORD from God's Book
_________________________________________________________________

As for me, God forbid that I should boast about anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. Because of that cross, [ Or Because of him.] my interest in this world died long ago, and the world's interest in me is also long dead.

If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it; but if I didn't love others, I would be of no value whatsoever.

Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it.

As the Scriptures say, "The person who wishes to boast should boast only of what the Lord has done." [ Jer 9:24.]

Can we boast, then, that we have done anything to be accepted by God? No, because our acquittal is not based on our good deeds. It is based on our faith.

When people boast about themselves, it doesn't count for much. But when the Lord commends someone, that's different!
