Christians try to orient to God through His love instead of His justice. Believers feel they must do something to deserve God’s love. This creates a premise of superficiality, even hypocrisy. Believers are so busy trying to establish and show off their own righteousness that they disregard the absolute righteousness of God in them. They lock themselves in the bondage of comfortable falsehood, isolated from the truths of Bible doctrine. God evaluates the believer on the basis of doctrine in the soul.
Arrogance is the best-disguised of all sin because it is a mental attitude.
Just as Christ is our only hope for salvation, proper instruction in Bible doctrine is our only hope for spiritual maturity, and to grow to spiritual maturity is our primary mandate from God Himself.
