Error of Ego (Mark 10:45)


Definitions:

  • Ego- Putting self first before others.
  • Pride- Contending for supermacy with God.
  • Basic Pride- Better than others, needs more important then theirs.



What will pride turn you into?

Promotion comes from God. Humble myself before him.

True humility leads to riches, honor and long life.

I will die to self and live for Christ. "If you cling to your life you will lose it, if you let it go you will save it"

Pride causes you to stumble. Leads to conflict. Bring destruction. Destroys lives. Humility brings success.
Pride shows up in arrogance- thinking more highly than yourself then your not
Arrogance causes stupidity.
Pride shows up in vanity- Concerned with own image. Amount of time spent on making yourself look good.
Vanity causes stress.
Ego leads to strife.

God sees our character not our image, character lasts forever.
