We are all tempted to exalt ourselves in some measure, whether on a large or small scale. What does the Bible have to say about self-promotion?

People either accept Jesus as their substitute, with his satisfaction and righteousness, or they are obligated to provide their own—a mark that no sinner can hit. Your work in civil life, however, is a covenant of works, not a covenant of grace. This distinction is critically important for every person to understand.
