Translations:Overcoming Pride and Rebellion/3/en

If we overrate ourselves we allow ourselves be deceived. We so easily forget that much of who we are is dependent on others. We wouldn’t even be alive without others. The reality is that we have no control over so many things. Plus we are limited: our knowledge, our time, and our abilities are all finite. God created us to live in connection with other people and with Him. However, pride and rebellion lead us into isolation and destroy healthy fellowship. They distort our view of reality and block our connection with God – but often we don’t see, or even ignore, their consequences for us and others.
