Primate of ROC: Pride is disobedience to God in everyday life
"God resists the proud, gives grace to the humble (1 Peter 5:5) – Primate recalled the words of the apostle. – The devil is the father of pride, and pride is disobedience to God displayed in everydayday life. "
"A proud man always puts himself above others, he has the only view of the world – top-down. He is unable to consider himself equal to others, and especially unable to see his sins, his weakness, his imperfection, to realize that he is not on top of the world, but somewhere down, among the rest," he said.
"Pride breeds an absolutely unhealthy outlook on life, a sinful and very dangerous style of relationship with people. And it cannot be otherwise, because if God resists the proud, He denies them grace. Of all the passions, it is this passion – pride that is hardest to overcome," the Patriarch said.
