Pride can quietly take root in the human heart. It can make us believe we are greater than others, less willing to listen, and less willing to acknowledge our need for God.
The Bible presents pride as something that leads us away from God, while humility brings us back to the right posture before Him.
Pride brought the fall; humility brings us back to God.The greatest example of humility is found in Jesus Christ. Though He was in the form of God, He humbled Himself and became obedient, even to the point of death on the cross.
Humility is not weakness. It is recognizing that we are not self-sufficient, that we need God, and that others deserve to be treated with love and dignity.
Pride asks, “How important am I?”
Humility asks, “How can I serve?”
When pride takes control, we move away from God. When we humble ourselves before Him, we open our hearts to His grace.Choose humility—not because it makes you smaller, but because it brings your heart closer to God.
“Pride brought the fall; humility brings us back to God.”
