COT:
Pride ( Notes from church last night, thanks Mouthwash)
Pride is often a blindspot.
1 Peter 5:5 God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.
Pride started with the fall of Lucifer. He wanted to be like God and was cast down from heaven.
The devil tempered Adam and Eve with pride, you can be like God.
Pride is thinking too highly of our selves. Our culture encourages the opposite.
“Humility is honestly assessing ourselves in light of God’s holiness and our sinfulness” – CJ Mahaney
When we aren’t thinking of those two, His holiness and our sinfulness, we start becoming proud.
Perspective – who are we comparing ourselves with, others or God.
The cross of Christ is the only thing to bridge the gap of his holiness and our sinfulness
The fruit of pride is when we reject the authority that God has placed over us.
A way for us to grow in humility is to understand who God is more – read our words, study the attributes. When we see God it enables us to have a better assessment of ourselves.
