Self-Righteousness

 

Self-Righteousness

Luke 18:11-12

A self-righteous person is a narrow-minded or moralistic person. It is having an attitude and belief of moral superiority thinking they are more virtuous than others. They have an outward focus on the behavior of others, and an arrogance stemming from a moral high ground.

When someone constantly tries to make themselves look better by putting others down. They become this way when they lack understanding about a specific topic.

Everyone has a story, and no one knows another’s’ story unless they have lived in their shoes. To live a self-righteous life means they are not accepting others for who they are and do not understand where the behavior of others comes from.

If this definition defines you, then try focusing on humility, recognizing your own need for God’s grace and forgiveness and strive to emulate Jesus’ humility and love for others.

When we are confident in our own worthiness, there’s no reason to try to prove it to ourselves or convince others of it.

Please read the scriptures listed, study them, apply them to your life and grow in the saving relationship with Jesus Christ our Savior.
