The truth about pride goes against what many people are taught about how life is supposed to work. The truth about pride goes against what we usually believe about getting ahead and personal achievement.
Pride is the first sin in the seven deadlies.
The seven deadly sins are pride, covetousness, lust, anger, gluttony, envy, and sloth. Pride is a deadly sin because pride brings death. Pride feeds the lusts and passions of the human heart. Pride results in death of the soul and many times death of the body. Pride is a lie we tell ourselves.
