Mark 12:38-40
38 Here are some of the other things he taught them at this time: "Beware of these teachers of religious law! For they love to parade in flowing robes and to have everyone bow to them as they walk in the marketplaces.  39 And how they love the seats of honor in the synagogues and at banquets.  40 But they shamelessly cheat widows out of their property, and then, to cover up the kind of people they really are, they make long prayers in public. Because of this, their punishment will be the greater." (NLT)
God requires us to be humble. When someone is arrogant they can only see themselves. God wants those who see Him as the one who created them. The arrogant believe everything they do and everything they have is because of them. They love the praise of men because they only love themselves and because of that their reward is what they receive here on earth. In James 4:6-7 "God sets himself against the proud, but he shows favor to the humble. So humble yourselves before God." (NLT) God gives grace to the humble.
