How do we know that selfish ambition leads to disorder?

Answered in 1 source

Scripture indicates that selfish ambition, combined with envy, creates turmoil and wickedness in both individuals and society (James 3:16).

The evidence of scripture supports the claim that selfish ambition leads to disorder. Specifically, James 3:16 teaches that where envy and selfish ambition exist, chaos follows. Historian accounts of personal relationships as well as societal dynamics showcase how this ambition breeds conflicts and strife. Whether on a private level or in the public realm, the motivations driven by self-interest tend to bring upheaval and ungodliness. Therefore, recognizing the early signs of these attitudes in oneself is crucial to foster peace and purity.
