In the Bible the word “pride” is used 49 times, the word “proud” 48 times, and the word “proudly” 9 times, and never once are the words used in a “good” sense. In each and every case, the words are used to describe the wicked or those doing wickedly. In other words, in God’s eyes (or language) the words “pride” or “proud” are NASTY DIRTY words! And therefore, never ever should we try and use these words in a “positive” sense, like “I’m proud of my son or daughter” or “I’m proud to be a Christian”, etc.Satan is on a mission in these last days to blur lines, stir confusion, and mask Truth. He wants to call what is good evil and what is evil good. He doesn’t want you to have a FIRM understanding of God’s Word, for then you will have a sharpened sword to fight against him. It is for these reasons that God has asked me to write to you today and expound on the word “pride”. God STRONGLY desires that YOU have a FIRM understanding of what is good and what is evil, so you can speak words and work deeds pleasing in His sight.
Here’s the deal … pride is selfishness! Pride is what entered Lucifer’s heart in the Garden of Eden, puffed him up, and caused him to rebel (sin) against God and lie to Eve. Pride is the first step away from God. Pride is the soil in everyone’s heart that bears the evil fruit of disobeying God’s 10 Love Commandments! Truly, every single sin ever committed by mankind on planet Earth was committed because of a proud thought. The 10 commandment text written on the two stone tables on the 10LoveCommandments.com website are clickable links leading to summaries of each Love Commandment. I strongly urge you to visit this website and read through each of these summaries starting at commandment #1. This will be an eye-opening experience for you, teaching you how “pride” manifested through the “love of money (dirt)” is the root of all evil (sin).
Please folks, let’s learn to speak God’s language. Don’t ever say you are proud! Not of your child, country, school, or anything else. You can be pleased, you can be happy, you can be delighted, you can be grateful, but NEVER EVER proud: “Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the Lord: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished” (Proverbs 16:5). And that’s all I got to say about that.
