Romans 12:3-18 – Do You Know What Your Main Problem Is?
The main problem we have with everyone is they are not us. They don’t think, feel, act or react like us. They don’t always comes to the same conclusions as us, whether about people, issues, the Bible, and “most importantly” – they don’t come to the same conclusions about ourselves that we do. This includes family, friends, and Christians (who are supposed to be friends and family). As soon as we realize the main problem we have with everyone is they are not us, we learn two valuable lessons: 1) Their main problem with us is we are not them; 2) The main problem with everyone then is the same – people unrealistically and unbiblically think everyone should be exactly like them. Can you see how this is ultimately a matter of sinful pride? Learning not to think more highly of ouselves than we should could be everyone’s main problem (Romans 12:3-18).
