Bible Question: I am doing a study on Pride and I could use some assistance. Where does the word Pride come from, how did it originate? |
Bible Answer: Ezekiel 28:6-19 sums this up with the portrayal of the fall of Lucifer.Due to PRIDE,he was cast out,just like us when we turn our back on God and continue doing "our own thing".As Christians,we will still sin...but knowingly and willfully sinning is a PRIDE issue because we did not listen to "that still,small Voice" Who dwells in us,warning us that we are making a BIG mistake.Pride is the downfall of man.By nature,we are very prideful,self-centered,egomaniacs.But,by GOD'S GRACE,AND HIS MERCY,we are adopted iinto HIS family by HUMBLING ourselves at HIS feet.Humility is the opposite of pride.I pray that God leads me in the direction to help you ,in Jesus'Name,AMEN |
