Its scriptures are to be likened unto ourselves. This is one of the major messages of the Book of Mormon. This message has been weighing heavily on my soul for some time. I know the Lord wants this message delivered now. At the end of this world, when God cleanses the earth by fire, the proud will be burned as stubble and the meek shall inherit the earth.
Pride is a very misunderstood sin, and many are sinning in ignorance.
Therefore, no matter how the world uses the term, we must understand how God uses the term so we can understand the language of holy writ and profit thereby. Most of us think of pride as self-centeredness, conceit, boastfulness, arrogance, or haughtiness. All of these are elements of the sin, but the heart, or core, is still missing. It is the power by which Satan wishes to reign over us. Pride is essentially competitive in nature.
