How does pride lead to spiritual blindness?

Answered in 1 source

Pride can blind individuals to the reality of their dependence on God's grace and lead to misunderstandings of spiritual truths.

Pride is a common barrier to understanding God's truths, as highlighted in Matthew 11:25 where Jesus thanks the Father for hiding these truths from the wise and discerning. Paul stresses the danger of pride by reminding believers that spiritual pride can lead them to trust in their own abilities rather than acknowledging their need for God's grace (Romans 12:3). The humility that comes through recognizing one's inability to earn righteousness is crucial to receiving salvation, and overcoming pride is a vital step in the growth of a believer's faith.
