       If don’t know what is in the Bible, how can we be obedient to it? How will we know when our friend is telling us to just get a divorce or to sue someone that they’re in the wrong? Perhaps we won’t if we’re not familiar with how God wants us to act. Peace then is the ultimate goal. When we act peaceful toward others, we are not displaying an attitude of pride. Really, pride is the opposite of peace. We cannot be peaceful and prideful at the same time. If we are prideful, it is because we have unaddressed fear and guilt larking inside ourselves. The fear is there because we are afraid that if we don’t put on a great presentation, who we really are will be found out. The guilt is there because the very fact that we are displaying pride means we don’t have a good sense within ourselves of our self-worth. We are insecure and the pride makes us feel secure. Our real self isn’t good enough as it stands in our eyes so we have to puff it up falsely, and this is accomplished through pride.
