Commentary on Proverbs 16:2
Human self-assessment is unreliable—we judge our ways pure while God weighs spirits (motives, intents). This exposes self-deception requiring external, objective evaluation by God's word and Spirit. Reformed theology emphasizes total depravity affecting even our self-knowledge, necessitating divine illumination.
