Here was a dear man who avoided the temptation to have his strengths turned into sins.

See?

To get pushed over the edge with his power of personality or with his ability to communicate

or with his logic and his knowledge of philosophy he backed off.

Welcome to Grace to You with John MacArthur.

I'm your host, Phil Johnson.

It's one of the greatest, maybe the greatest temptation that you'll face today and every

day for that matter.

I'm talking about the lure of pride, the tendency we all have to think more highly of ourselves

than we should.

But thankfully the Bible lays out a clear path to growing in humility.

John MacArthur points you to that path today on Grace to You as he looks at how to keep

pride from sneaking into your thoughts.

It's part of his current series from Ephesians titled Getting in Step with the Christian Walk.

And with that, let's get to the lesson.

Here's John MacArthur.

Take your Bible, if you will, and let's look at Ephesians 4.

Ephesians 4, beginning in verse 1,

I therefore the prisoner of the Lord beceach you that ye walk worthy of the vocation to which

you are called with all loneliness and meekness with long suffering for bearing one another in

love and devering to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

Now as I've been saying to you, we are examining what it means to walk worthy.
