Commentary
Commentary on Galatians 6:3
Theological / DevotionalThink himself. That is, considers himself superior to those who have fallen before the onslaughts of temptation (v. 1). See on Rom. 12:3; 1 Cor. 8:2. For comment on pride versus Christian humility see on Luke 14:7–11; 18:9–14.
Deceiveth himself. The one who overestimates his work or worth is the one who is deceived. The danger of self-conceit lies in the fact that it stifles self-examination and a sense of need. Before God can do anything for us we must become aware of our need (see on Matt. 5:3). Thus the most hopeless man in the world is the one who had deceived himself into complete self-satisfaction. God can do nothing for us unless we are willing to accept what He has to offer. One who is not aware of his need will never ask for God’s grace.
