Calvin’s Undisputed Truth: Pride Will Destroy A Man

See how God rates pride as a man downfall in its form of self-gratitude? And man, he cannot stand it.

“The Lord will destroy the house of the proud: but he will establish the border of the widow” (Proverbs 15:25)

“Though they dig into hell, thence shall mine hand take them, though they climb up to heaven, thence will I bring them down” (Amos 9:2)

The Lord is so displeased with pride, he calls it an abomination.

“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)

“Thy terribleness hath deceived thee, and the pride of thine heart, O thou that dwellest in the cleft of the rock, that holdest the height of the hill: though thou shouldest make thy nest as the eagles, I will bring thee down from thence, saith the Lord” (Jeremiah 49:16)

If you have respect of people, and look down on others this is a form of pride also.

 “A high look, and a proud heart and the plowing of the wicked, is sin” (Proverbs 21:4)

“Proud and haughty scorner is his name, who dealeth in proud wrath” (Proverbs 21:24)
