Proverbs‬ ‭16‬:‭18‬ ‭NKJV‬

“Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before a fall.”

‭‭‬

OF ALL TYPES AND SHAPES OF PRIDE, SPIRITUAL PRIDE IS THE WORST OF THEM ALL‼️

1 Corinthians‬ ‭4‬:‭7‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

“For who makes you differ from another? And what do you have that you did not receive? Now if you did indeed receive it, why do you boast as if you had not received it?”

Mark‬ ‭14‬:‭29‬-‭31‬ ‭NKJV

“Peter said to Him, “Even if all are made to stumble, yet I will not be.” Jesus said to him, “Assuredly, I say to you that today, even this night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times.” But he spoke more vehemently, “If I have to die with You, I will not deny You!” And they all said likewise.”‬‬

Matthew‬ ‭26‬:‭73‬-‭75‬ ‭NKJV‬

“And a little later those who stood by came up and said to Peter, “Surely you also are one of them, for your speech betrays you.” Then he began to curse and swear, saying, “I do not know the Man!” Immediately a rooster crowed. And Peter remembered the word of Jesus who had said to him, “Before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.” So he went out and wept bitterly.”

‭

Romans‬ ‭7‬:‭15‬-‭20‬ ‭NKJV‬

“For what I am doing, I do not understand. For what I will to do, that I do not practice; but what I hate, that I do. If, then, I do what I will not to do, I agree with the law that it is good. But now, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me. For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) nothing good dwells; for to will is present with me, but how to perform what is good I do not find. For the good that I will to do, I do not do; but the evil I will not to do, that I practice. Now if I do what I will not to do, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me.”

Romans‬ ‭7‬:‭24‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

“O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death?”

Romans 8:1

There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

ONLY JESUS CAN RESTORE US WHEN WE STUMBLE AND FALL‼️ JESUS RESTORED PETER.

Isaiah‬ ‭45‬:‭22‬ ‭NKJV‬

“Look to Me, and be saved, All you ends of the earth! For I am God, and there is no other.”

It was not John, the one who watched with Him in the judgment hall, who stood beside His cross, and who of the Twelve was first at the tomb—it was not John, but Peter, that was mentioned by Christ after His resurrection. “Tell His disciples and Peter,” the angel said, “that He goeth before you into Galilee: there shall ye see Him.” Mark 16:7. – {Education p. 90.3}

At the last meeting of Christ with the disciples by the sea, Peter, tested by the thrice-given question, “Lovest thou Me?” was restored to his place among the Twelve. His work was appointed him; he was to feed the Lord’s flock. Then, as His last personal direction, Jesus bade him, “Follow thou Me.” John 21:17, 22. – {Education p. 90.4}

1 John 2:1-2

My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: 2And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

Romans 5:6-8

For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 8But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
