It is generally portrayed as a negative trait that leads individuals away from humility and dependence on God. The Bible warns against conceit, emphasizing the virtues of humility and the dangers of pride.<br><br><b>Old Testament References</b><br><br>In the Old Testament, conceit is often linked with pride and arrogance, which are seen as precursors to downfall. <a href="/proverbs/16-18.htm">Proverbs 16:18</a> states, "Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall." This verse highlights the inevitable consequences of conceit, suggesting that those who are overly self-assured are setting themselves up for failure.<br><br>The account of King Uzziah in <a href="/bsb/2_chronicles/26.htm">2 Chronicles 26</a> serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of conceit. Uzziah's reign began with success and prosperity as long as he sought the Lord. However, his heart became proud, leading to his downfall. <a href="/2_chronicles/26-16.htm">2 Chronicles 26:16</a> notes, "But when he was strong, his heart was lifted up to his destruction, for he transgressed against the LORD his God."<br><br><b>New Testament References</b><br><br>The New Testament continues to address the issue of conceit, particularly in the context of Christian conduct and community life. In <a href="/romans/12-3.htm">Romans 12:3</a> , the Apostle Paul advises, "For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you." This exhortation encourages believers to maintain a humble perspective, recognizing their dependence on God's grace.<br><br>In <a href="/philippians/2-3.htm">Philippians 2:3</a> , Paul further instructs, "Do nothing out of selfish ambition or empty pride, but in humility consider others more important than yourselves." This verse underscores the importance of humility and selflessness, contrasting them with the destructive nature of conceit.<br><br><b>Theological Implications</b><br><br>Conceit is often seen as a barrier to spiritual growth and community harmony. It can lead to a false sense of self-sufficiency, distancing individuals from reliance on God. The Bible consistently calls for humility, recognizing that all abilities and achievements are gifts from God. <a href="/james/4-6.htm">James 4:6</a> reminds believers, "But He gives us more grace. This is why it says: 'God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.'"<br><br><b>Practical Applications</b><br><br>In practical terms, Christians are encouraged to cultivate humility by acknowledging their limitations and the contributions of others. This involves a conscious effort to avoid self-exaltation and to seek God's guidance in all endeavors. By doing so, believers can foster a spirit of unity and love within the body of Christ, reflecting the character of Jesus, who exemplified ultimate humility.<br><br><b>Conclusion</b><br><br>While the Bible does not explicitly use the term "conceit" frequently, the concept is woven throughout its teachings on pride and humility. The consistent biblical message is clear: conceit leads to separation from God and others, while humility opens the door to grace and community.<a name="top" id="top"></a><div class="vheading2">Topical Bible Verses</div><span class="rtext"><a href="/jeremiah/9-23.htm">Jeremiah 9:23</a></span><br>Thus said the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches:<br><span class="source">Topicalbible.org</span><p><span class="rtext"><a href="/romans/12-16.htm">Romans 12:16</a></span><br>Be of the same mind one toward another.
