NASB John 5:41 I do not receive glory (honor) from men; 42 but I know you, that you do not have the love of God in yourselves. 43 I have come in My Father’s name, and you do not receive Me; if another comes in his own name, you will receive him. 44 How can you believe, when you receive glory (honor) from one another and you do not seek the glory (honor) that is from the one and only God?

YLT 41 glory from man I do not receive, 42 but I have known you, that the love of God ye have not in yourselves. 43 `I have come in the name of my Father, and ye do not receive me; if another may come in his own name, him ye will receive; 44 how are ye able--ye--to believe, glory from one another receiving, and the glory that [is] from God alone ye seek not?

Pride prevents faith... Pride prevents believing.

James 1:21... in humility receive the word implanted, which is able to save your souls.

(Ex. Abraham Rom 4:20 – (Respect for promises)

Rom 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. 17 For in itthe righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “BUT THE RIGHTEOUS man SHALL LIVE BY FAITH.”

You don’t have faith in what you don’t respect! (Honor)

There should be a big difference between the things of man and the things of God

Respect, honor... those are the avenues for more glory.

The connection between faith and humility

James 4:6 But He gives a greater grace. Therefore it says, “GOD IS OPPOSED TO THE PROUD, BUT GIVES GRACE TO THE HUMBLE.”

Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for a lack of knowledge, because you have rejected knowledge.

7 Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.

The only way you can honor God is to exhibit some humility.

1 Peter 5:4 And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the unfadingcrown of glory.

5 You younger men, likewise, be subject to your elders; and all of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, for GOD IS OPPOSED TO THE PROUD, BUT GIVES GRACE TO THE HUMBLE.

Humility is an awareness of God’s greatness

6 Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you at the proper time,

7 casting all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you.
