What does the Bible say about self-confidence in faith?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible warns against self-confidence, emphasizing the need to rely on God's strength rather than our own.

The scriptures remind us that self-confidence in our faith is dangerous. As seen with Peter in Mark 14:29, he boldly claimed he would not deny Jesus, exhibiting extreme self-assurance. However, this leads to a stark reminder: as Paul states, 'If a man thinks he stands, let him take heed, lest he fall' (1 Corinthians 10:12). True strength comes from recognizing our weaknesses and relying upon God’s grace to sustain us in our faith journey.
