Here are six forms of pride that we need to continuously guard our hearts against:

1. Self-exaltation: Pride leads to us giving credit to ourselves.

2. Self-promotion: Pride causes us to welcome credit from others.

3. Self-justification: Pride causes us to believe that we can earn God’s approval through our actions.

4. Self-degradation: Pride causes us to tear ourselves down.

5. Self-demotion: Pride causes us to compare ourselves to others.

6. Self-condemnation: Pride causes us to judge ourselves.
