(Through this Second one I discover how God sees Arrogant People)
-----
Chris.
Arrogant people are scoffers. Whenever I hear people scoffing I feel difficult in my heart. Scoffing is a form of despising. God never scoffs, He either saves or condemns, He is the Way to Life but also has the keys of death and hell but He never scoffs. If we are given to scoffing we need to stop it and ask God to give us clean and pure hearts.
