8 Bible Verses about Boasting In God

So, as it is written [Jer. 9:23f], "The person who [wants to] boast, let him boast about the Lord."

[Jer. 9:24 says], "But the person who boasts should boast about the Lord."

Therefore, as I have fellowship with Christ Jesus, I am proud of my service to God.

But if you call yourselves "Jews," and [claim to] rely on the law of Moses, and brag about [belonging to] God;

so that, by my being with you again, you will be able to rejoice all the more in [our lives together with] Christ Jesus.

but Christ [was faithful] as a Son over God's household. And we [Christians] are that household, if we hold on to our confidence [in Christ], and to the boasting [i.e., joy] of our hope [in God], firmly to the end [of our lives].

For we [Christians] are the [true] circumcision [i.e., the real "Jews" in God's eyes. See Rom. 2:28-29]. We worship by means of God's Holy Spirit [i.e., are empowered and motivated by the Holy Spirit], and boast in [the person and work of] Christ Jesus, and [we] place no confidence in the flesh [i.e., in any outward ritual or status for salvation].

But the last thing I want to do is brag [about such things]. For [if I had any bragging to do at all], it would be about [salvation through] the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, for it is through Him that this [sinful] world has been crucified [i.e., died] as far as I am concerned and I have been crucified [i.e., died] as far as it is concerned.
