Extremely derogatory to human pride!

Extremely derogatory to human pride! 

(Stephen Tyng, “Christ is All”) 

“In his pride, the wicked does not seek God; in all his thoughts, there is no room for God!” Psalm 10:4 

Sin has entirely perverted the nature of man. 

The carnal mind is opposed to God in its . . . 
  judgments, 
  tastes, 
  desires,
  pursuits. 

God demands that guilty man . . . 
   sacrifice his own imaginary independence, 
   renounce his own fancied excellence, and 
   acknowledge his personal unworthiness, 
before he can be received into the family of God. 

Such demands seem extremely derogatory to human pride. For this reason, multitudes reject all the offers of the Gospel, and treat with contempt those who yield to the invitations which they themselves despise, and submit to the motives which they renounce, as deluded and degraded people.

“The day is coming when your pride will be brought low and the Lord alone will be exalted.” Isaiah 2:11

“The Lord Almighty has done it to destroy your pride and show His contempt for all human greatness.” Isaiah 23:9

“The Lord detests all the proud of heart. Be sure of this: They will not go unpunished.” Proverbs 16:5
