Do Not Think More of Yourself Than Is Necessary

"I tell everyone there among you not to think more of yourself than it is necessary to think, but to think so as to have a sound mind." - ROMANS 12:3.

We humbly submit to Jehovah's standards, realizing that Jehovah always knows what is best for us. (Ephesians 4:22-24)  Humility moves us to put Jehovah's will above our own and to consider others superior to us.  As a result, we enjoy good relationships with Jehovah and fellow believers. - Read PHILIPPIANS 2:3.

If we are not careful, though, we could be influenced by people in Satan's system who are proud and selfish.  Apparently, this was a danger to some in the first century C.E., for the apostle Pal wrote to the Romans:  "I tell everyone there among you not to think more of  himself than it is necessary to think, but to think so as to have a sound mind." ( Romans 12:3)  Paul acknowledged that we need to think of something of ourselves. However, humility will help us avoid thinking too much of ourselves.  Those areas are (1) our marriage,  (2) our privileges of service, and (3) our use of social media.
