God Bless you for sharing these verses with us. His Scriptures helps us to stay in check: Convict us when we need to be. Self-Righteousness we can find ourselves acting upon, if we don’t be careful of such. Having the attitude that its us that’s doing are having done things on our own. Like we have never Sinned. Knowing it is Jesus Christ that gave His life for all of us. In the Hope that we wont go to Hell. We should be giving Him praise. Personally I know that its not I that wakes myself self up each morning. I know that it is He who helps me to move, and to think. I know that He can give and take away what we have. His my provider. (I will share scripture: 2 Corinthians 13:5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?)
Thank you
