'God Forbid That I Should Glory Except In The Cross Of Our Lord Jesus Christ.’

Jeremiah 50:29-46
‘The arrogant one will stumble and fall’(32). God’s Word warns us - ‘Pride goes before... a fall’; ‘Arrogance will bring your downfall’(Proverbs 16:18; 29:23). We must not trust in ourselves. We must put our trust in the Lord - Our ‘Redeemer is strong. The Lord Almighty is His Name’(34). We must not boast of ourselves. Salvation is ‘not our own doing’. We must ‘boast of the Lord’. Salvation is ‘the gift of God’(1 Corinthians 1:31; Ephesians 2:8-9). When we are tempted to take pride in ourselves - ‘Lord, I thank You that I am not like other men...’(Luke 18:11-12), we must come to the Cross of Christ, praying the sinner’s prayer - ‘Lord, have mercy on me, a sinner’(Luke 18:13) - and boasting only of the Lord - ‘God forbid that I should glory except in the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ’(Galatians 6:14).
