“Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and before honor is humility.” — Proverbs 18:12
In "Pride and Humility," CH Spurgeon lays out the contrasting natures of pride and humility, emphasizing the destructive nature of pride and the virtues of humility. He warns that pride leads to downfall and separation from God, while humility aligns us with God's grace and wisdom.
Spurgeon encourages believers to cultivate humility as a Christ-like attribute, reminding them that true greatness in the Kingdom of God comes not from self-exaltation but from self-denial and servitude. The sermon underscores the importance of recognizing our dependence on God's mercy and grace, leading to a life marked by humble submission to His will.
This sermon was preached on August 17, 1856 at New Park Street Chapel.

"There is nothing into which the heart of man so easily falls as pride, and yet there is no vice which is more frequently, more emphatically, and more eloquently condemned in Scripture."
"Oh! my friends, ye cannot tell how many shapes pride will assume; look sharp about you, or you will be deceived by it, and when you think you are entertaining angels, you will find you have been receiving devils unawares."
"Humility is to think of yourself, if you can, as God thinks of you."
"Cringing men that bow before everybody, are truly proud men; but humble men are those who think themselves so little, they do not think it worth while to stoop to serve themselves."
