Paul's argument continues to kill our pride, exposing our self-righteousness wherever it may be hiding out in our lives. Are we looking to make a good show, relying on external attributes and benefits that have been extended to us, or are we honoring God in the secret recesses of our hearts? Once properly exposed, we can lay down our pride at the feet of the Cross, and accept the glory that comes only from Christ and His power in defeating sin and death in and through the Cross on our behalf.
