What does the Bible say about boasting in our achievements?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible teaches that boasting in human achievements is folly, as true worth is found only in knowing God.
In Jeremiah 9:23-24, God explicitly states that we should not boast in our wisdom, might, or riches. This reflects the truth that all human achievements are insignificant before God's majesty. The world encourages boasting, but the Scriptures remind us that true glory is found in understanding and knowing God. Our accomplishments, intelligence, and resources do not earn us favor with God; they are fleeting and ultimately meaningless. Instead, our boasting should be centered on Christ and His redemptive work, which alone provides us with worth and righteousness in the sight of God.
