Christianity: Pride, The Seed of Sin

is a sober walk through the most overlooked and destructive sin in the human heart. Long before Adam and Eve took the fruit, pride had already stirred rebellion. It sought to ascend above the throne of God, and ever since, it has quietly worked its way into every corner of human life.

This book explores how pride often goes unnoticed—not because it is absent, but because it disguises itself. Pride appears in the need to be seen, in the fear of failure, in the desire to control. It hides behind religion, respectability, and even good works. Sometimes it boasts. Sometimes it sulks. Sometimes it clings to insecurity. But always, it puts self in the place of God.

Through twenty chapters, this book follows pride through the story of Scripture—examining the downfalls of kings, the self-righteousness of religious leaders, and the hidden motives of ordinary people. Each chapter holds up a mirror, helping readers see how pride resists correction, feeds sin, and divides the body of Christ.

Yet it also points to a better way. At the center of this book is the person of Jesus, who—though equal with God—did not cling to His status, but emptied Himself. He came low. He washed feet. He chose the cross. His life redefines greatness. His death makes room for the humble.

This is not a book about others. It is not a critique of culture, denominations, or personalities. It is a quiet but firm call to personal examination. Readers are invited to reflect, to repent, and to return—to rediscover the posture that God honors: a contrite heart.

Whether read alone or as part of a group, Pride, The Seed of Sin offers a clear and honest view of what keeps us from God—and how, through Christ, we can live differently. It ends not with shame, but with hope. For the God who opposes the proud gives grace to the humble. And that grace is still available, even now.
