Piper on Pride and Humility

Posted in Christian Living  by ministerandy on May 26th, 2007

I ran across this helpful list in my studies this evening. This is taken from a Sermon from 1994 by John Piper

What is pride and humility? I’ll try to answer that with ten biblical observations about pride. Humility is the opposite.

1. Pride Is Self-Satisfaction

2. Pride Is Self-Sufficiency and Self-Reliance

3. Pride Considers Itself Above Instruction

4. Pride Is Insubordinate

5. Pride Takes Credit for What God Alone Does

6. Pride Exults in Being Made Much Of

7. Pride Aspires to the Place of God

8. Pride Opposes the Very Existence of God

9. Pride Refuses to Trust in God

10. Pride Is Anxious About the Future
