If you want to walk worthy and be blessed by God in your life,

then you're going to have to walk in humility.

And if you're going to walk in humility,

you're going to have to be honest with who you really are.

You've got to see your faults and confess your sins

and deal with those things daily.

Welcome to Grace To You with John MacArthur.

I'm your host, Phil Johnson.

Celebrities are praised for their bold,

brash confidence.

Politicians are considered great leaders

when they display a high view of themselves and their abilities.

Parents, teachers, and educators are encouraged constantly

to remind children that they can be anything

they want to be.

It's clear that we live in a culture that values self-worth,

that encourages you to have an unshakable belief in yourself.

But as John MacArthur has been showing you in his current study,

if you're a Christian, you are not called

to a life of self-confidence.

Far from it, Christ calls you to live a life of self-denial,

to demonstrate meekness and humility.
