According the Bible, all people are made in God's image (Gen. 1:26-27) and are God's workmanship (Eph. 2:10). The Bible also teaches that Christians are God's children (Rom. 8:16) and co-heirs with Christ (Rom. 8:17). And we see that in the example of Christ, The Bible also tells Christians to not think more highly of themselves then they ought (Rom 12:3), but to be like Christ, who became a servant in spite of being God (Phil 2:5-7).
Each individual has been given gifts from God (1 Cor 12), and we have been created for good works in Christ (Eph. 2:10) so boasting about the gifts God has given is inconsistent with our recognition that God is the one who has given us the talents and abilities. We also see that God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble (Prov. 3:34). Pride is the one thing that people despise when they see it in others yet they fail to recognize it in themselves.
