As Christians, we will never be able to understand the full reality of the wonderful happiness and pleasures that will be eternity with God and one another.  Perhaps, reading about Perfect Unity in God and what a small aspect about our future life will be like in eternity will give us.  Those who have had Near Death Experiences speak about this perception of feeling what other feel that gives an extra capability of sharing, with enjoyment, of others happiness 

Pride, arrogance, selfishness and other abuses that we do to one another in our earthly lives grieves God and also will grieve us when we realize that these acts required a punishment penalty paid by Jesus Christ on the Cross.

Pride is an Abomination

In the history of the scriptures, God has informed us that He hates pride.  Pride was the root of the sin of Lucifer that set off the cataclysmic events that we are still dealing with today, where God is going to teach everyone that cannot be done ever again. 

Understanding how God view pride relates to the most egregious act of pride which is putting oneself in the place of God. 
 

Proverbs 6:16-19	There are six things which the LORD hates, Yes, seven which are an abomination to Him (1) lying tongue, (2) murder of innocents, (3) Planner of wickedness, (4) Enjoyer of evil, (5) a False witness, (6) causing of strife, (7) adulterer
Proverbs 16:5	Everyone who is arrogant in heart is an abomination to the LORD; be assured, he will not go unpunished.
Proverbs 16:18	Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.
1 Corinthians 4:6-7	6 Now these things, brethren, I have figuratively applied to myself and Apollos for your sakes, so that in us you may learn not to exceed what is written, so that no one of you will become arrogant in behalf of one against the other. 7 For who regards you as superior? What do you have that you did not receive? And if you did receive it, why do you boast as if you had not received it?
Philippians 2:2-8	2 make my joy complete by being of the same mind, maintaining the same love, united in spirit, intent on one purpose. 3 Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves; 4 do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others. 5 Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, 6 who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7 but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men. 8 Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.
in the positive sense:
Proverbs 29:23	Pride brings a person low. But those whose spirits are low will be honored

Pride has always been evident in history with the Kings, Queens, Emperors, Magistrates, War Lords and even the leaders in certain positions in the Church.  Today, Abuse of Power is not only widespread but it is honored as a worthy attribute for a leader of a company and government office. 

The greatest act of pride was done by Lucifer and will be repeated later by Lucifer through the Antichrist in the Tribulation Period.  Lucifer believed in his heart that he could be like God and be an equal to God, where the Lucifer acted on it, deceived 1/3 of the Angels and also caused the fall of mankind with Adam and Eve.  In Isaiah 14, God is first speaking about the King of Babylon and then shifts to the thoughts, actions and future of Lucifer.
 

Isaiah 14:13-14

13 You said in your heart, “I will ascend to the heavens; I will raise my throne above the stars of God; I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly, on the utmost heights of Mount Zaphon. 14 I will ascend above the tops of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.”

What to read next?

What is Salvation?  Is it possible to lose Salvation?  We have eternal life.  Evolution is not real.  When a Christian suffers is there benefits from it.  Rewards in heaven.  Do we Tithe?  What does the 3rd Commandment tell us?  What is Grace and Mercy?  Is there a place of unending punishment and exile form God?
