If some of the branches have been broken off, and you, though a wild olive shoot, have been grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing sap from the olive root, do not consider yourself to be superior to those other branches. If you do, consider this: You do not support the root, but the root supports you. You will say then, “Branches were broken off so that I could be grafted in.” Granted. But they were broken off because of unbelief, and you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but tremble. Romans 11:17-20 NIV
We as followers of Christ must not be arrogant, considering ourselves to be better than others. All that we have, we have been given by God. It is not of our own doing. Many choose to live a life apart from God and His blessings. They have no spiritual nourishment, and thus are depraved. Our nourishment is through Christ and God’s word. If it were not for God we would be in the same state as unbelievers. We have no room to boast, except to boast in Christ Jesus. Instead of looking down on others, our commission is to share God’s Word with all, that as many as possible may see and come before the Lord in humility, seeking Him with a repentant heart. Keep your focus on God’s mission for you. Consider yourself not higher than others.
