What does the Bible say about self-trust?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible warns against trusting in ourselves, as true hope and deliverance come only from God (2 Corinthians 1:9).

In 2 Corinthians 1:9, the Apostle Paul explains that he and his companions experienced overwhelming trials to teach them not to trust in themselves but in God who raises the dead. This realization of our own inability is critical; it leads us to understand our dependence on God for salvation and strength. Paul’s struggles exemplify the necessity of embracing our weakness, for it is in acknowledging our limits that we can fully rely on God's strength and grace.
