Pride is essentially thinking more of yourself than you are, or simply, thinking you are something you are not. For example, [[Lucifer]] thinking he was God, or [[Adam]] thinking he knew what was better for himself than God did, despite God's warning. Adam thought he was smarter than God.  The [[Prodigal son]] didn't think he needed his father's love, support, and guidance, either.

Pride manifests itself in rejecting God's love, support, and guidance, and replacing God with self, which is [[idolatry]]. ''Worshipping and serving the creature more than the Creator.''<ref>Romans 1:25/</ref>
