Corinthians 1:31 – “Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord…”

Boasting In Christ Is Not Sinful!

                    “Boasting in Christ” means to proudly proclaim and celebrate the transformative power of Jesus Christ in your life,  through Him, “May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ” (Galatians 6:14). 

I’m PROUD of Jesus!

           …because Jesus prayed: LORD, if I hurt others, give me the strength to apologize, if people hurt me, give me the strength to forgive! – Ephesians 4:32

                 … because Jesus taught His followers to love their enemies as God loves them! – Matthew, chapter 5, verse 44

                   …because Jesus taught His followers: “ to be kind and forgive one another as God forgave you……”  – Ephesians 4:32 esv,

            …because Jesus taught His followers: – “If you love only those who love you, what is great in that…”  –  St. Matthew 5:46,

 Churches were silent over “PROUD OF JESUS” for 2, 000 years!

                                              Historically, believers were always PROUD of Jesus and His Gospel in their hearts but were reluctant to express it in public.  Church leaders were reluctant to remind parishioners to be PROUD of Jesus and His Gospel because of the centuries-old belief that being Prideful or Boastful is always Sinful that led to the birth of “PROUD OF JESUS” as the ultimate believer’s Boast in Christ!

                                                                                      I pray that church leaders would consider it as a divine duty to begin reminding parishioners to be PROUD of Jesus and His Gospel! / Pope Francis

                                     Luke 9:26 – “Whoever is ashamed of me and my words…”

…because Jesus is beyond love!

Love doesn’t necessarily breed Pride but Pride breeds love!
