THE DANGER OF SELF-RIGHTEOUSNESS

About the Book

The Bible teaches the all-important subject of righteousness in the Old and New Testaments. It also identifies righteousness as indispensable in the believer’s walk with God. The same Bible condemns unrighteousness as well as self-righteousness in clear terms. Many people are ignorant of self-righteousness and how the enemy uses it to torment and derail lives. It keeps many souls from being saved and has been keeping many believers from making heaven. In this ground-breaking book, the author, Pastor Emmanuel Atoe, stresses that believers must know the true meaning of righteousness and accept God’s righteousness rather than seek their own (Philippians 3:7-10). The book highlights comprehensively what self-righteousness entails. It also explains the character of a self-righteous person. A self-righteous person is defined as one who is confident in his or her own righteousness. He or she also shows superiority above all others, especially if they have a different opinion than theirs. It identifies the root causes of self-righteousness as excessive focus on self, ignorance, pride, unbelief, frustrating the grace of God, among others. Also, the book reveals the manifestations of righteousness and warns us to avoid its booby traps and pitfalls. We should learn from all that Jesus pointed out about the self-righteous attitude of the Pharisees in Matthew 23.
