Honor vs Pride

Pride can be defined in various ways depending on whose using the word and in what context to them.

In scripture..False pride is why Lucifer fell from heaven.

False pride sets one up as superior to God. False pride exalts itself against the knowledge of God. False pride always leads to a fall.

If one ponders the concept of pride in this context.. it can leave one wondering..Should I be proud of anything..A good work done well.. my children’s accomplishments..Anything?

I think one might bring into play a misplaced virtue…Honor.

Honor is not heard about much these days.

It used to be stated “death before dishonor”. Not heard of much these days.

Honor..what is it?

It’s related to integrity… And to reverence.

Honor reverences​ God..Glorifies our Father..Our Creator.

False pride worships self, is vain..Establishes vainglory.

These are just some ideas for you to ponder..Food for thought.

Let me know what you come up with.

Peace, I am glad you are here.

Rightly dividing the Word of God.

What does that mean?

It’s semantics.

Discerning the “meaning”

Of a scripture.

How is it done?

By studying the Word of God.

A little here..

A little there..

Line upon line..

Precept upon precept.

Comparing scriptures with each other..We gather the meaning of other scriptures.

Study my friend..

Meditate upon the Law of God…

The scriptures..

Study To show thyself approved unto God. 

You will become workman that needeth not to be ashamed.

Precepts.

A precept is a principle.
A group of principles makes up a doctrine.
