Pride Is The Root Of All Sin Pride is the most serious, and the most subtle, sin. It often is not even recognized as existing. Pride is the root of all sin. It causes us to turn away from God instead of turning to Him. All disobedience has pride as its root.
All rebellion has pride behind it.
The world system promotes people who are proud, and often gives them great riches. God says pride is evil and defiles a man. Pride causes people to go their own way instead of God's way. Pride makes you think you do not need God's advice or help. Only by faith in God can we receive God's blessings.
