God’s Word teaches us to always walk in humility and never to be haughty before God or before man. God hates a proud heart but God exalts those who are humbled. Before man’s destruction his heart is ruled by pride, so let us never allow this pride in our hearts.
When pride comes destruction comes and when humility reigns in us God’s wisdom rules our hearts. We should always walk humbly because God wants His children to always greet each other with sweet words and through this, we can show the glory of God.
For those who exalt themselves will be cut down, and those who humble themselves will be exalted. Jesus teaches that humility is honorable, while self-exaltation leads to destruction. Let us look at the following Bible verses that will help us to understand more About Not Being Arrogant.
