The Stench of Spiritual Pride
About this episode
The episode discusses the dangers of spiritual pride as exemplified by the rich young ruler's story.
The stench of spiritual pride is seen in the rich young ruler’s confidence in his own goodness. He believed he had kept the commandments and needed only one final step to secure eternal life. But when confronted with the cost of true surrender, he walked away. His problem was not open wickedness, but a heart unwilling to bow. Spiritual pride smells like self-assurance that looks righteous on the outside yet refuses full dependence on Christ.
