PRIDE IS NOT A FIGHT FOR LOVE; IT IS COMPLETELY AGAINST LOVE.
As it is written in 1 Corinthians 13:4, "𝘓𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘱𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘵, 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘥. 𝘐𝘵 𝘥𝘰𝘦𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘦𝘯𝘷𝘺, 𝘪𝘵 𝘥𝘰𝘦𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘣𝘰𝘢𝘴𝘵, 𝘪𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘥."
It was pride that transformed lucifer into satan and cast him down to hell. Isaiah 14:12-15 vividly portrays this fall: "𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘧𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘯 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘯, 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘳, 𝘴𝘰𝘯 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘢𝘸𝘯! 𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘤𝘢𝘴𝘵 𝘥𝘰𝘸𝘯 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘩, 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘰𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘭𝘢𝘪𝘥 𝘭𝘰𝘸 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴! 𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘴𝘢𝘪𝘥 𝘪𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘵, '𝘐 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘢𝘴𝘤𝘦𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘯𝘴; 𝘐 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘴𝘦 𝘮𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘎𝘰𝘥; 𝘐 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘴𝘪𝘵 𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘥 𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘮𝘣𝘭𝘺, 𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘶𝘵𝘮𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘔𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘵 𝘡𝘢𝘱𝘩𝘰𝘯. 𝘐 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘢𝘴𝘤𝘦𝘯𝘥 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘰𝘱𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘭𝘰𝘶𝘥𝘴; 𝘐 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘮𝘺𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘔𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘏𝘪𝘨𝘩.' 𝘉𝘶𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘣𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘥𝘰𝘸𝘯 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘮 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘦𝘢𝘥, 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘦𝘱𝘵𝘩𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘪𝘵."
Likewise, anyone who lives in pride will be condemned by the God of Love, Holiness, Righteousness, and Justice. Proverbs 16:18 warns, "𝘗𝘳𝘪𝘥𝘦 𝘨𝘰𝘦𝘴 𝘣𝘦𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘥𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯, 𝘢 𝘩𝘢𝘶𝘨𝘩𝘵𝘺 𝘴𝘱𝘪𝘳𝘪𝘵 𝘣𝘦𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘢 𝘧𝘢𝘭𝘭." The Lord, who embodies perfect love and justice, cannot tolerate sin but condemns it. James 4:6 reminds us, "𝘉𝘶𝘵 𝘏𝘦 𝘨𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘴 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘦. 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘏𝘦 𝘴𝘢𝘺𝘴: “𝘎𝘰𝘥 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘥, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘨𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘴 𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘩𝘶𝘮𝘣𝘭𝘦.”
