What does the Bible say about self-flattery in sin?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible warns that sinners often flatter themselves, leading to destruction and ignoring God's judgment (Psalm 36:2).

The Scripture teaches that self-flattery among sinners is a dangerous delusion that leads them away from acknowledging their sin and the consequent judgment of God. For instance, Psalm 36:2 highlights how individuals convince themselves of their righteousness while persisting in sin, failing to recognize the impending consequences. This self-deception often causes them to live carefreely without the fear of God, as described throughout biblical warnings about sin and judgment. The psalmist observes that such behavior is not just a personal failing but a universal tendency among those who turn away from God and do not see the bitterness of sin until it's too late.
