Grace Breaks Pride and Gives True Assurance
Pride wants to stand on its own record. Fear wants to know whether that record is enough. Grace destroys both illusions. It tells us that we are more sinful than pride admits and more loved than fear can imagine.
True assurance does not come from admiring ourselves. It comes from looking to Christ. His finished work is stronger than our changing emotions and better than our best efforts.
Lord, break my pride and give me assurance rooted in Christ alone. In Jesus’ name, amen.
