This message is not my opinion. It is God’s truth. When we have PRIDE in our hearts, we are an ABOMINATION to God! If we have it, we need to get rid of it!
Pride in our words and our actions is most definitely sin. But so is PRIDE when it is in our hearts!
We can put on an APPEARANCE of HUMILITY to others and SAY and DO things that APPEAR HUMBLE. But God sees our hearts! And if we are exalting ourselves over GOD and/or over others in our THOUGHTS, we are an abomination in God’s eyes!
May this message encourage all of us to HUMBLE OURSELVES continually, to keep PRIDE out of our hearts, words, and actions, and to REPENT AND RETURN TO GOD AND HIS WAYS when His Holy Spirit shows us that we are sinning against Him with PRIDE or sinning in any other way against Him!
“Everyone proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD; Though they join forces, none will go unpunished.” Proverbs 16:5 NKJV
“Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before a fall. Better to be of a humble spirit with the lowly, Than to divide the spoil with the proud.” Proverbs 16:18-19 NKJV
“And whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.” Matthew 23:12 NKJV
