What does the Bible say about pride and coming to Christ?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that pride is the root obstacle preventing individuals from coming to Christ, as it leads to self-reliance and a refusal to submit to God's authority.

Pride is identified in scripture as a key reason why individuals do not come to Christ. As stated in the sermon, many believe they know best and will not allow Christ to rule over them. This pride results in an inability to acknowledge one's need for salvation and fosters a sense of entitlement to God's grace. Proverbs 15:5 highlights that 'a fool despises his father's instruction,' underscoring how pride can blind us to the reproof of God, preventing reception of His Word and grace.
