There is this temptation of assuming we are better than others, especially when we compare ourselves with others.
A temptation, all especially believers must guard against. And this is why salvation is not acquired by anyone's efforts or works. Apostle Paul wrote "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast".
If no one should boast, then that comparasm of being better than another because you did something that person didn't do or that person is doing something "wrong" you will never do is unnecessary.
It is written, " But we are all like an unclean thing,
And all our righteousnesses are like filthy rags"
Beloved, have you come to realise that you may be fortunate to have learnt and matured into depending on the Holy Spirit's promptings?
So that the good works that you boast of is influenced by the Holy Spirit.
Jesus Christ told a parable of two men, a Pharasee and a tax collector going to the temple to pray. The Pharasee prayed, " GOD, I thank You that I am not like other men—extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax collector." He continued by listing his works, "I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I possess."
The tax collector we are told would not even raise his eyes to heaven, beat his chest and prayed, "GOD, be merciful to me a sinner!’.
Jesus said, "the tax collector went down his house more justified than the Pharasee.
Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall.
