What does the Bible say about self-glory in the church?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible warns against self-glory, emphasizing that true worship glorifies God through Christ alone.

Self-glory in the church is addressed in 1 Corinthians 6, where the Apostle Paul critiques the Corinthian church for prioritizing self-glorification over the gospel. This man-oriented worship detracts from glorifying God, as evident when all aspects of worship revolve around human recognition rather than Christ. The Scriptures teach that genuine worship must center on Jesus, the Gospel, as He is the only way through which we can access God (John 14:6). When the focus shifts to human efforts and achievements, it inevitably leads to a degradation of true worship and righteousness.
