       Nor is a person who is wise, meek, and not bragging defending the works they do. There is no need to uphold this or that because the goodness of the effort, again, shows forth automatically. People, deep down, know oftentimes whether a person is doing something from the heart or whether the person is just putting on a good show. Sometimes it can be harder to tell, but give it time and it will become obvious to all. Wasn’t this Lucifer’s problem? This was how he rebelled against God. The self-righteous attitude is demonic because self-righteousness is based on superficial things, and it is not grounded in the truth. We are all good because God has made us good in Jesus. We are all equal on that plane. Whatever our giftings are, whether they be natural in us (that is, inborn within us) or whether they be giftings by the Spirit, these things were given to us. Yes, we get to decide what to do with the gifts, but the gifts were given to us, so it is foolish for one to say that he or she is better than another as a result of the gifts. That comes from the worldly person.
