Pride

Jacob 2:12-22   Pride

Pridea feeling or deep pleasure or satisfaction derived from one's own achievements, the achievements of those with whom one is closely associated, or from qualities or possessions that are widely admired


Jacob 2:13, 16

13 And the hand of providence hath smiled upon you most pleasingly, that you have obtained many riches; and because some of you have obtained more abundantly than that of your brethren ye are lifted up in the pride of your hearts, and wear stiff necks and high heads because of the costliness of your apparel, and persecute your brethren because ye suppose that ye are better than they.

One has pride because:

  1. He is richer than others
  2. He has more material things than others
  3. He has and wears more expensive clothes than others
  4. He supposes that he is better than others

verse 16
pride will destroy our souls
