A person is sinning when they boast about the things they have or the things they have done, but they do not say God gave everything to them (see: Psalm 10:3; Romans 1:29-30; 1 Corinthians 4:7; James 4:16). A person also is sinning when they boast in a false god instead of the one true God (see: Psalm 97:7).
