Confidence in Christ versus Self-Confidence

Confidence in Christ comes from understanding that our adequacy is from God, not ourselves. The world promotes self-confidence, but the Christian impulse is to flee to Jesus. Believing in oneself is antithetical to the gospel. The expectation of perpetual success can be paralyzing, while being faithful and obedient is more important than worldly success. The key is to remember that our confidence is rooted in Christ, not in our own abilities or accomplishments.
