We are not wise to compare ourselves spiritually with others - 2nd Corinthians 10:12 “For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.” - Luke 18:10-14 “10 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. 11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. 12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess. 13 And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. 14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.” ** Note: Compare yourself to Jesus’s earthly life record ——————————————————————————————————— Wisdom is greater than carnal wealth - Proverbs 8:11 “For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.” ——————————————————————————————————— We are to compare spiritual things to spiritual, not carnal - 1st Corinthians 2:13 “Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.” ——————————————————————————————————— Our current sufferings cannot compare to glory revealed in us - Romans 8:18 “For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.” * END - Compare email: [email protected] #cybercoc #churchofchrist #cyberchurchofchrist
