BIBLE STUDY IS ON BREAK FOR THE SUMMER.
SESSIONS WILL RESUME IN AUGUST.
“Pride is arrogance. Pride thinks it knows better and is better. Pride sets itself in first place. It bows to no one but itself. But, as C.S. Lewis wrote in Mere Christianity, “Pride is spiritual cancer: it eats up the very possibility of love, or contentment, or even common sense.”
Pride vs. Humility
The Bible presents pride as the opposite of humility. We see this clearly in the book of Proverbs:
“When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with the humble is wisdom” (Prov. 11:2).
“Before destruction a man’s heart is haughty, but humility comes before honor” (Prov. 18:12).
“One’s pride will bring him low, but he who is lowly in spirit will obtain honor” (Prov. 29:23).
The proud live as though they are kings of their own kingdom, whereas the humble recognize they are creatures of the King of kings. God is God and we are not. He made us and we belong to Him. We are dependent upon God for all things—life, breath, and everything else (Acts 17:25). All we have, all that we are, is because of His grace.
When God humbles the proud, it is an act of His grace.”
