How does presumption relate to sin in a Christian's life?

Answered in 1 source

Presumption in a Christian's life is considered a significant sin as it reflects pride and a lack of reliance on God.

Presumption is viewed as a grave sin in the life of a believer, as it denotes arrogance or a self-reliance that contradicts the necessity of humility before God. Jude emphasizes that those who act presumptuously disregard divine authority and promote their own agenda rather than submitting to God's will (Jude 1:8-10). This presumption can lead to a distorted understanding of faith, where a believer might mistakenly believe they can secure their standing before God based on their own works rather than Christ's redemptive sacrifice. As such, recognizing the dangers of presumption is vital for maintaining true faith rooted in grace.
