Pride is a timeless sin. It has destroyed empires, fractured families, and destroyed relationships, but perhaps its deadliest attack is what it does to our relationship with God. But where does pride come from? In the case of the nation of Edom, it came from their self-assured security in the strength of their empire, but as Obadiah points out, even that couldn’t save them against the judgment of God.

CloseSomeone has once wisely called pride the most "brainless sin" there ever was. Not only is it short-sighted, but it leaves the one guilty with absolutely zero to show for their sins. Only destruction. For that reason, pride is a little bit of a paradox. It can make you feel invincible -- super human, even. But right when you feel that way, it begins the start of your downfall. It's a self-defeating sin, and one that many people don't even know they're guilty of (if they are). Why? Because the one guilty of pride usually is too proud to believe there's anything wrong with them in the first place. That makes pride an especially dangerous sin for Christians.
