For we are not bold to class or compare ourselves with some of those who commend themselves; but when they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they are without understanding. II Cor 10:12
It is a dangerous thing for anyone to evaluate their own lives by the standard we have selected. When we measure ourselves by ourselves, we have made ourselves our own god. We become the center of our righteousness for the way we live and the things we do. In this lifestye, there is never any reproof or correction. We need to make Jesus the benchmark of our comparison. May we look at His holiness, and His ministry, and find the path He wants us to follow. When someone asks for a reference, should we list our name or the name of Jesus?
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
