Proverbs 16:18 ” Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall.”

We are all fallen & broken people. We even accept the maxim, “To err is human.” That’s because we want to assume that all people are inherently good. But if we compare mankind to the standard of God’s holy character, we’d have to admit we’re far from it. In other words, we have all fallen short…exchanging God’s glory for idolatry, rebellion, disobedience, pride and backsliding. But God is compassionate to restore our erring. (Psalm 145:14) And it’s only by the power of the Holy Spirit that we can be brought out of this state of brokenness and spiritual death and made alive in Christ. (Ephesians 2:1-10)
