PRIDE
Webster’s defines PRIDE as a deep pleasure or satisfaction derived from one’s own achievements.
The Bible describes PRIDE as giving ourselves credit for something that God has accomplished!
Ultimately pride is self-worship.
Pride is taking credit when all the credit and glory go to God.
Think of a major accomplishment in your life. Perhaps it was a successful project, a big sale, a pay raise, a bigger house…… Were you proud of yourself or did you give God credit for helping you achieve this?
Satan was cast out of Heaven because of pride. Nothing good can come of pride. Only destruction.
1 Corinthians 4:6, “What do you have that you did not receive? (Nothing!!) And if you did receive it, why do you boast (pride!!!) as though you did not?”
