Pride becomes sinful when it is excessively self-focused and self-elevating. This kind of pride is what most often appears in the Bible. The biblical sin of pride refers to a high or exalted attitude—the opposite of the virtue of humility, which is the appropriate posture people ought to have with God. Pride is the opposite of humility. We should be Chrit-like. He was filles with the Holy Spirit and his character was one of humility.
Proverbs 16:18 Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.
Proverbs 8:13KJV The fear of the Lord is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.
Psalm 10:4KJV The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.
