Do you boast about your education??/ your Job, perhaps your car or house.. or even your Bible knowledge.. you can quote scripture at the drop of a hat..
Well in many instances boasting is rooted in the sin of pride "The pride of life" ...
.1 John 2:16 ............... and the pride of life [assurance in one's own resources
or in the stability of earthly things]--these do not come from the Father but are from the world [itself].
Paul did a little boasting as recorded in God's Holy Bible... and what exactly did Paul boast about???
2 Cor 11:30 If I have to boast, I will boast of what pertains to my weakness
2 Cor 12:9 And He has said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness." Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me.
2 Cor 12:10 Therefore I am well content with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecutions, with difficulties, for Christ's sake; for when I am weak, then I am strong.
If we are going to boast..... Let our boast be in the things that manifest CHRIST JESUS
Ps 34:2
My soul will make its boast in the LORD; The humble will hear it and rejoice.
