“And because of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption. so that, as it is written, “Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.”
1 Corinthians 1:30-31 ESV
… That makes it quite clear that none of you can get by with blowing your own horn before God. Everything that we have—right thinking and right living, a clean slate and a fresh start—comes from God by way of Jesus Christ. That’s why we have the saying, “If you’re going to blow a horn, blow a trumpet for God.” MSG
