Pride


I came across this Bible study on pride and realized that I have done posts on all of its references to longer texts, so I thought I would post it with the links to tie them all together.

1.) Pride is the opposite of humility


a.) See Philippians 2 Bible study here.

2.) Does it lead to every other vice?

            a.) 10 commandments Bible study here.

            b.) Seven deadly sins study here.

            c.) See James 4 Bible study here.


3.) How much does other people’s pride upset you?

4.) Pride leads to competitiveness and the desire to be more than…


            a.) "The Pharisee, standing by himself, prayed thus: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other men,
                  extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.'" - Luke 18:11

5.) Looking down, one can’t see God

6.) What pride is not

            a.) List of four things in C.S. Lewis Mere Christianity - Chapter 8 - The Great Sin

6.) Is there a good pride?


            b.) "Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord" - 1 Corinthians 1:31

7.) What else does the Bible have to say about it?

a.) Isaiah 2 Bible study here.

b.) Galatians 5 Bible study here.
