Overcoming Pride: Embracing Humility for True Exaltation

Pride can lead to arrogance, conceit, haughtiness, and various negative behaviors. The Bible teaches us that pride originates from the heart and impacts our attitudes, speech, and actions. In contrast, humility draws us closer to God, who desires to lift us up. Through passages like 1 Peter 5:6-7 and Luke 14:11, we learn that focusing on God’s praise and earning it through humility is essential. To combat pride effectively, we must prioritize humility and recognize its importance in our spiritual journey.
