What does foolishness look like? Here is the last of the four of its most significant aspects.
The Foolishness of Self-righteousness
Why don’t we celebrate grace more? You’ll never celebrate grace as much as you should when you think you’re more righteous than you actually are.
Grace is the plea of sinners. Mercy is the hope of the wicked. Acceptance is the prayer of those who know that they could never do anything to earn it. But the foolishness of sin makes me righteous in my own eyes.
You don’t get freed from your foolishness by education or experience. You don’t get wisdom by research and analysis. You get wisdom by means of a relationship with the One who is Wisdom.
