However, there's no room for pride in the heart that's in hot pursuit of holiness. Holiness looks Godward while pride gazes selfward. The perfect picture of holiness is Christ. The best portrait of pride is Lucifer. Holiness is the desire to be like Christ.
Pride is the aspiration to be better than others.
Holiness manifests meekness of character. Pride brags of brashness and has no character. It's impossible to walk in holiness and maintain a heart of pride. Arrogance and pride are simply hindrances to a holy heart. When we understand what a holy heart is, then it's easy to see how impossible it is for pride and holiness to dwell in the same heart.
