Pride is something many of us struggle with, whether we realize it or not. It can appear as a desire to be better than others, a refusal to admit when we're wrong, or a constant need for recognition. Over time, I’ve seen how pride slowly builds walls between us and God, leading us away from the kind of humble, dependent relationship He desires.

The Bible speaks very directly about pride. In fact, pride is often at the root of many other sins. When we elevate ourselves, we risk placing our own will above God’s, which is exactly what led to the downfall of people throughout Scripture. The danger is not just personal failure but spiritual separation from God.

If we overlook what the Bible says about pride, we may miss some of the most important teachings about our hearts, our behavior, and our need for God's grace. Recognizing pride is the first step toward true humility, which opens the door to deeper faith and a stronger walk with God.

In this article, we’ll explore what the Bible says about pride, look at key verses, examine examples of pride in Scripture, and learn the practical lessons God gives us on living humbly before Him.
