Sometimes Christians give the impression that they are somehow better people that non-believers. But this is not the case.
Saved By Grace
The Christian is saved by admitting that they cannot make it to heaven on their own.
It has been said that the ground at the cross is level. No one gets to heaven because they are better than anyone else. We are all saved by God's grace.
Pride
Pride is the sin that caused the fall of Satan. The Bible says that God hates pride.
Jesus condemned the proud attitude of the religious leaders of His day that practiced their religion only to get attention.
Summary
The only difference between a Christian and a non-Christian is that the believer has recognized their unworthiness. They realize they cannot have a relationship with God or make it to heaven on their own merit. Hence, they call upon the Lord to save them. This does not make the person better than the non-Christian.
