Using the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector from Luke 18:9-14, we see how pride leads us to trust in our own righteousness. True blessedness comes from recognizing our spiritual poverty and seeking God's mercy. A mature Christian is aware of their own sinfulness and relies on God's grace, avoiding the pitfalls of religious pride.
