Pointing Fingers
Arrogance is one of the most repulsive character traits that a person can have, and one of the quickest ways to turn people off. Being around someone who has a high opinion of themselves is hard to tolerate from anyone, but even more so for those who claim to be Christians. Most arrogant people don’t have many friends because, quite frankly, their self-righteous attitude is hard to stomach. Pointing fingers at the flaws of others won’t win you a popularity contest, and it definitely is not an endearing quality. You’re entering dangerous territory when you focus on the sins of others, because you fail to see your own. It’s important to take a good look inward and evaluate honestly what you see. Do you look upon others with disdain, as if they are greater sinners than you? Are you critical and put people down, not just verbally but in your thoughts as well? Do you value your own opinion more than the opinions of others? Do you think you are better than everyone else? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you are in need of spiritual cleansing and rebirth. Being a Christian means being “Christ-like,” with His godly character traits such as humility, gentleness, being loving and kind. You won’t find a true follower of Christ who is mean, critical, egotistic, or proud. Only Jesus has the power to change you, but you must desire and ask for a “heart change.” He won’t force you. Accountability feels like an attack when you’re not ready to acknowledge your own sinful behavior, but self-evaluation is necessary if change is to take place. And make no mistake, God will hold you accountable for your thoughts and your actions. Be humble and never entertain the thought for even one moment that you are better than anyone else, for the Bible says in Ecclesiastes 3:20, “All go to the same place; all come from dust, and to dust all return.” God created all men to be equal, and if you are to be a true follower of Christ, you won’t be pointing fingers at anyone - you’ll be humble, kind, and unselfish without any trace of arrogance. Surrender your life to Jesus today and ask Him to create within you a clean heart and a right spirit so you can serve Him with humility.
