A PRIDE BIBLE STUDY

What Does God Say About Pride?

Is Pride a Sin?




A PRIDE BIBLE STUDY

Pride is often seen as the first sin. The sin which caused the Devil to fall from his priviledged position as an angel of light. He then uses the same temptation to lure Adam and Eve away from their fellowship with the Almighty God. Satan still tempts us today with the same sinful pride.

In his epic poem The Divine Comedy, Dante lists the seven deadly sins as lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy, and pride. The great Christian writer C.S. Lewis wrote of pride in his classic Mere Christianity that pride is The Great Sin that tempts us all and yet we despise it in all others. He went on to state that pride cannot exist without competition because it is essentially competitive.
