2Co 10:12 ‘For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.’
The comparison of our conduct cannot be measured or set by man’s standard. Our only comparison should be based on the fruit produced by the Lord in our life and the application of our spiritual gift from the Holy Spirit (1 Cor 12). It’s not what we do, but what God is able to do through us that’s of worth. Comparing our self to others is an attempt to feel better about ourselves which is pride. But when we measure ourselves to the Lord’s standards, it quickly brings about humility, which is something the Lord can work with!
Don’t compare oneself to others who call themselves Christians, compare oneself to the scriptures which determines a Christian… HSAY
