Romans 12:3
For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.”
These are good questions for us all to ask Jesus: “Who am I, really? And what is my place that you have given me in this life?”
The pride of life that is in the nature of our flesh can confuse us as to who we really are. It can blind us as to who we are in relation to those whom God has placed over us, both in a worldly sense and in the Lord. They “despise government” who think their will is as important as the will of their superiors and elders.
