Introduction God has a plan for your life. God is perfect, therefore, His plan is perfect. It is impossible for you with your sin nature to execute the plan of God for your life. Therefore, God has provided through His grace a way for you to execute His plan, purpose, and will during your lifetime. Whenever a Christian fails in executing the plan of God for his life, sinful pride is the primary reason and motivating cause.
Pride is the basic mental attitude sin.
Satan was the first creature guilty of pride. His motivation of pride is found in one line of Isa. I will make myself like the Most High God. The original sin of pride is amplified in the following passage. You were blameless in your ways from the day you were created until unrighteousness was found in you.
