What is exceptionism? It is thinking that your life is an exception to God’s Word. Thus, you excuse yourself from doing anything for heaven because of things like your past, pain, poverty, or poor self-image.
Think carefully about this: you will never be in the future what you are not becoming today. If you are not responding to and obeying God’s Word now, and you feel like you are always an exception, that attitude will stay with you till the end.
“Unmortified pockets of pride” means allowing pride to grow. This can make you secretly, inwardly proud of your intellect (thinking you are smarter than others), or proud of your achievements, or proud of your goodness (“I’m not as bad as they are”). Sin, in the light of sin, never does look bad, but sin in the light of God’s holiness always looks bad. Pockets of pride in your life can erase Christ’s “Well done!”
