What Will Keep a Man Out of Heaven?
December 1, 2009
Pride. My good friend Matt Schmucker preached an excellent sermon here at Grace which aimed at reflecting on the pride of the “religious” and “non-religious.” If you’re in either one of those camps you should listen to Matt’s sermon. Pride will keep both out of heaven. Those who are proud of their religion are in danger of not depending on Jesus for their salvation. For those who are not religious, pride keeps them from seeing their true need of Jesus. We’re all proud and we all need Jesus.
Here’s a reflection from J.C. Ryle on pride:
“Let us watch against pride in every shape – pride of intellect, pride of wealth, pride of our own goodness. Nothing is so likely to keep a man out of heaven, and prevent him from seeing Christ, as pride. So long as we think we are something we shall never be saved. Let us pray for and cultivate humility; let us seek to know ourselves correctly, and to find out our place in the sight of a holy God” (J.C. Ryle, Expository Thoughts on the Gospels: Matthew, 116, 117).
