Respectable Sins – Chapter 11 – “Pride”
Jerry Bridges addresses the sin of pride, but not pride in general, but certain expression of pride that are special
temptations to believers:
Pride of Moral Self-righteousness
We need humility (“there but for the grace of God go I”)
We need to identify ourselves before God with the sinful society we live in [Ezra 9:6]
Pride of Correct Doctrine
Assumption that whatever my doctrinal beliefs are, they are correct, and anyone who hold another belief is theologically inferior
Of course we are to have convictions about the teaching of Scripture; of course doctrine and theology and teaching matters; but, we are to hold our convictions in humility, realizing that man godly and theologically capable people hold other convictions
Pride of Achievement
