“For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.”
King James Version (KJV)

Any part of scripture can be taken out of context but I believe this particular statement is a real challenge for each Christian to recognise that the new creation we are in Christ owes all to Christ, and that the only good in each and every one who has been saved is Christ Jesus. The wretched old self has been crucified with Christ and the New self is only complete in Christ. I who am nothing can never think of my self so highly to boast my self above or better or more deserved than any one else and I can never assume what kind of a person someone is by how they follow there Christian walk denomination or religious practise. Christ Jesus in John 10v14 tells us that He is the Good Shepherd and that he has chosen His Flock, there will only be one flock. Those who think they are something when they are nothing are deceiving themselves.

the Word of God is the word of God and it is always true because it is God
