Why God Resists the Proud, Even If Your Theology Is Right

Is it possible to have your theology completely right and still have God resisting you? James 4:6 and 1 Peter 5:5 both say the same startling thing: God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble. You can have an accurate statement about the Trinity, salvation, and Scripture, and still miss God's blessing if pride has crept into your heart. In today's Daily Hope, Pastor John S. Dickerson continues walking through Peter's early days with Jesus in Luke 5, where Peter falls on his knees and says, "I'm a sinful man, I don't deserve to be in your presence." That kind of humility is exactly what God blesses. Pastor Dickerson explains why churches and ministries with technically accurate theology can still find God resisting their work if pride is present in the leaders or the people, and why the opposite is also true: God pours out grace on those who humble themselves under His hand. This isn't about earning God's favor. It's about recognizing that if God uses you, it's not because you have something impressive to offer Him, it's because He's a God who gives grace to the humble.
