I believe that the sin of pride is destroying the lives of so many people. And this sin has taken and will take many people to Hell. I'm not only speaking about those persons who do not know Jesus Christ. But Christians too. Pride is a very dangerous sin. The Bible tells us clearly that God hates pride. He loves humility. Humility is one of the marks of a person who is a follower of Jesus Christ. What is humility? Looking at the life of Jesus Christ, I believe that these three things define humility. One, acknowledging my dependence on God. Two, being submissive and obedient to God's will for my life. Three, valuing other people above myself. The opposite defines pride. What is pride? One, choosing not to acknowledge my dependence on God, choosing to depend on myself or on other people, or on worldly things, such as money. Two, not being submissive and obedient to God's will for my life. Three, valuing myself over other people. Now let's look at Psalm 131.
