Pride Goes Before a Fall?

Ken Brown | September 12, 2009

“Pride goes before a fall” has been a devastating expression for many Christian believers. They don’t understand it, and they get it used against them. Often there has been some wonderful believer faced with adversity who has made up his mind to go for it, to trust God, to choose to believe that his efforts with God’s help will bring to fruition his dream. Upon sharing his optimism with some other supposedly more seasoned “believer.” The latter feels compelled to deflate his tires and does so with, “Watch out. Pride goes before a fall.” Forgive me. I have an emotional response to this one, having seen it used by God’s people to hurt others of His people and dissuade His purposes.

In Part One we examined the contextual evidence showing that 1 John 1:9 is addressed to those not yet born-again and is regarding what they must do to be cleansed of their unrighteousness and come into partnership with God. Part Two will offer further evidence of this truth and examine more fully what the sin of 1 John 1 refers to.
