The Lord detests all the proud of heart. Be sure of this: they will not go unpunished. Proverbs 16:5
Citizens of the New Kingdom know that there is no gray area when it comes to how King Jesus feels about the proud of heart. His harshest criticism was leveled at the religious leaders who elevated their positions above the people.
Citizens of the New Kingdom know that King Jesus is the only being worthy and deserving of worship. When we allow pride to rule our hearts we project that we are deserving of more and we judge others as inferior to us.
Pride lifts a person up to a false elevated position that makes him or her compete with God. We know that we have pride in our hearts when we think that we know what is best for ourselves and others in direct contrast to what King Jesus requires.
