Pride=Bad, Humility=Good-Part 1

Yes, that is a simple fact. Pride equals bad. Humility equals good. Not good pride, like being proud in the Lord or in your work, proud as in haughty. Humility as in putting others before yourself, not as in letting everyone pick on you.

How do I know this fact? Only because I read about it in a great book: the Bible. I'll show you where I find out that pride is bad: 2 Chronicles 26:16, Psalm 59:12, Proverbs 8:13, Proverbs 11:2, Proverbs 16:18, Proverbs 29:23. These are just a few examples of pride. If you look at these, you will see why my conclusion is that pride is bad. We must look at humility, too. I learned that humility is good in: 2 Chronicles 12:7, 2 Chronicles 12:12, Psalm 25:9, Psalm 147:6, Proverbs 11:2, Matthew 18:4.

Did you notice any verses that were in both sets? Did you notice Proverbs 11:2?

When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with the humble is wisdom. -Prov. 11:2

If you are prideful, you will be disgraced, but if you're humble you will receive wisdom. Doesn't that make you want to be super humble? It does for me.
