The Puddle Effect of Pride (First 2 Paragraphs)
All men in the world have “…sinned and fall short of the glory of God…” (Romans 3:23). The Bible tells the people of earth that they are morally corrupt and God is superior to them. Moral corruption, otherwise known as sin, is any reprehensible or regrettable action, behavior, lapse, etc.; great fault or offense. There must be a reason why people commit terrible acts and deeds. Pride leads to these acts and deeds. Pride is defined as a high or inordinate opinion of one's own dignity, importance, merit, or superiority, whether as cherished in the mind or as displayed in bearing, conduct, etc. People, at one point in their life, think they are better than someone else whether it be looks, athletic ability, or smarts. It is a part of their sinful and corrupt behavior.
People consider many sins to be the one that leads to all other immoral acts. Murder and pillaging are intense crimes but what leads people to doing them. There must be a root to all sin that guides to others. Maybe it is rebelling against God, defying the Great Almighty. It could also be something smaller as disobeying parents. Pride seems to only have people think they are superior to their fellow man. Could pride, in fact, lead to all other sins?
