One definition of boastomg is “to glory in having or doing something.” Church members can sometimes be heard boasting regarding their churches. They might make proud reference to new buildings, successful programs, attendance, or offerings. While it is far better to be positive about our local church body, one should always be cautious about the motive for our pride and note the right recipient of praise for successes is Jesus Christ. We do well to remember Christ is the head of the church and the source of every eternal work the church accomplishes.
Paul made it clear that nowhere is this truer than in the area of our salvation. He indicated “boasting … is excluded” because believers have done nothing to merit right standing with God. By faith we simply receive what Jesus obtained for us. It was Paul’s understanding of this truth that led him to proclaim in Galatians 6:14 “God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
Father, You alone are worthy of all praise.
