Pride is the first sin. Where does the Bible say that pride started? In the heart of Lucifer. Lucifer is an angel. He lived in the courts of heaven. But then his heart was filled with pride. So, God tells Lucifer what will happen to him: “ ‘Your beauty made you proud. Your glory [praise and honor] ruined [destroyed] your wisdom. So I [will throw] you down to the ground, and now other kings stare at you’ ” (Ezekiel 28:17, ERV). Pride causes Lucifer to sin. Then God throws Lucifer out of heaven. Now Lucifer, or Satan, causes pride in men. He turns them against God. In this way, Lucifer destroys humans. We are all sinners. We depend on God for life itself. All our gifts come from God. So do all the good things we do with God’s gifts. That is why we should not let our hearts become full of pride. We should not brag about anything we do. It takes a long time for Nebuchadnezzar to understand this truth. You will remember that he sees the 4th man in the hot oven. That 4th man is Jesus. But does that change Nebuchadnezzar? No! So, God removes his kingdom. God makes the king live with animals. Then the king finally changes. Sabbath School Lesson 5: https://bit.ly/2yaQR2O Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-YCCYSTS5-s
