Ephesians 2:8-9 “For it’s by grace you’ve been saved, through faith – and this not from yourselves, it’s the gift of God – not by works so that no one can boast.”

When we think we are some kind of “Super-Saint”, looking down on & judging others harshly…we are treading on the slippery slope of a self-righteous spirit. Romans 4:2 remind us that we are justified by faith & not by our works… and taking on a “holier than thou” attitude is just plain dangerous, for none of us is better than others. Charles Spurgeon addressed this once, writing, “The greatest enemy to human souls is the self-righteous spirit which makes men look to themselves for salvation.”
