Pride is a deadly sin, and God must humble every one that He would save. If we are to be saved, we must be humbled.
People do not think much of what they are doing when they nurture pride in children.
Many of the common methods of education tend to feed this dangerous passion.
The desire to be first is encouraged by multiple means, when these ought to be used to restrain the love of eminence in the young heart.
Nothing can so effectually overcome it as the Gospel of Christ. There we learn that we are polluted beings, and that nothing but the blood of the crucified Savior can wash out our stains.
Do you believe this humbling doctrine? Then remember the words of the apostle Paul, “I urge you to walk worthy of the calling you have received, with all humility and gentleness.” (Ephesians 4:1-2)
