John Calvin said:
"We are all made of mud, and this mud is not just on the hem of our gown, or on the sole of our boots, or in our shoes.We are full of it, we are nothing but mud and filth both inside and outside."

Yup, everyone of us is nothing more than a mudball... LOL
But I'm a mudball on my way to Heaven!

If you only take the pain to check the price of pure mud for cleansing the skin , at the body shop , or other natural products' drugstore , you should be proud too .

Christians have a high self esteem because of Who they belong to. You have to remember that John Calvin said your quotation, not Lord, God Almighty. He has an opinion just as we do. May God Bless

Hallelujah. Yes we are dust, or mud. However, G-d has breathed his own breath in us and we have life. Look at a piece of dust. Then look at yourself. The difference is G-d.
Blessings

Jesus taught us to be humble. therefore, we should be humble. You should be happy to be Christian, you should be ready to scream our your joy in public, but not be high and mighty. Often many people confuse overwhelming joy with haughtiness. It is like when you are having a bad day and someone talks about how wonderful life is. Yous tart to think they are stuck up and mean when they are simply trying to spread there joy with you and others. I call it human, and its something we all have to work through

We have a high self-esteem because our Father has a mansion for us in heaven, because he owns the world and everything in it. He also owns you. Be careful you will have to answer for what you say here on earth on judgment day.

Don't know about the self righteous part.
But that is mighty good mud----
Made by God's own hand--I am proud to be molded by him.

when your in the Lord's embrace you just feel like your on cloud 9, but i think your asking why do Christian's think they're better than everyone else, they don't they just want everyone to know the joy that come's from the Lord's love....

Then God must be mud to, for we were made in his image. Mud was simply the ingredient God chose, so God must have made a wrong choice.

Arrogant, you mean? Because they think they are the only ones with the real God.
