What does the Bible say about pride in oneself?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible warns against pride, emphasizing that all we have is received from God and should lead us to humility.

The Apostle Paul addresses pride in 1 Corinthians 4:7 by asking, 'For who maketh thee to differ from another, and what hast thou that thou didst not receive?' These questions remind believers that any sense of superiority or pride is unfounded because everything we possess, including wisdom and salvation, is a gift from God. The consistent biblical testimony asserts that any boasting in self is inconsistent with the gospel of grace. True understanding of the doctrine of grace compels believers to boast only in the Lord, recognizing that pride serves to distance us from God's true glory.
