Bible Verses about Pride

Bible Verse of the Day 17th September

Galatians 6:4

“Each one should test their own actions. Then they can take pride in themselves alone, without comparing themselves to someone else.”

Message:

Evaluate your actions, make changes to excel and then be proud of yourself. Do not compare your qualities with others and underestimate them. Also, do not feel jealous about others, if you do not have their skills. Never waste your time and energy by comparing with others. Instead, use the knowledge which God has given you and identify in what field you are skillful. Put in your efforts in that field and God will make you take pride.

Message:

Do not be self-conceited with your colleagues, neighbors, friends and society. Never differentiate anyone by their color, caste, race or creed. Instead, consider everyone equal because, God has created us all without any variation. So throw away your pride and live in harmony.
