What does the Bible say about glorying in achievements?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible warns against glorying in human accomplishments, urging believers to glory in knowing God instead.

In Jeremiah 9:23-24, the Lord instructs us not to glory in wisdom, might, or riches. These are temporary and do not provide true satisfaction or security. Instead, the scripture calls us to rejoice in our understanding and knowledge of God. True glory comes from recognizing God's grace and righteousness, and the assurance that He has exercised justice through Christ for our salvation. This focus on glorifying God rather than ourselves aligns with the core tenants of Reformed theology that emphasize God's sovereignty and the ultimate purpose of glorifying Him.
