STUDY ABOUT PRIDE 3 | TRAIN-WRECK OF SIN
1. Pride
a) Pride is an infectious and dangerous attitude affecting so many people in this day and age. Where does pride come from? How does this kind of attitude affect you and your walk with God? How does it affect others around you every day?
b) Pride is a device that can be so easily woven into anyone’s life. It is an abomination to God and it must be kept in check. We all fall prey to it and we need to repent when we do fall. God bless you as you live out a life worthy of the calling.
2. Pride Started the Train-wreck of Sin
a) The Old Testament is filled with two-fold stories, where a present story is told, while a different story is also portrayed (usually in the form of prophesy).
b) Ezekiel 28:11-19 is one of those passages. It is being written presently to the King of Tyre, but it is also prophetic about Satan’s end because of his pride while he dwelt in heaven as an angel of God.
i) “You were an anointed guardian cherubim.” (verse 14)
ii) “You were blameless in your ways from the day you were created, till unrighteousness was found in you.” (verse 15)
iii) “Your heart was PROUD because of your beauty; you corrupted your wisdom for the sake of splendor. I cast you to the ground.” (verse 17) That verse also refers to Genesis where Satan was literally cast to the ground, “on your belly you shall go, and dust you shall eat all the days of your life.” (Genesis 3:14)
iv) “By the multitude of your iniquities, in the unrighteousness of your trade you profaned your sanctuaries.” (verse 18)
v) “All who know you among the peoples (God’s children) are appalled at you; you have come to a dreadful end and shall be no more forever.” (verse 19)
c) It is because of Satan’s pride that sin started. Satan wanted to be God. God cannot be in the presence of sin, which is why He cast Satan into his own realm where he could be king, in hell. Satan is coming to a dreadful end, indeed, because his fate in the lake of fire is approaching quickly.
