What is Pride? (And What is Humility?)

June 17, 2011 by mattperman

I find these definitions from CJ Mahaney’s book Humility very helpful:

Humility: Honestly assessing ourselves in light of God’s holiness and our sinfulness.

Pride: Aspiring to the state and position of God and refusing to acknowledge our dependence on him.
