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>

The Christian believer is admonished to ''Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not on thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil.''<ref>Proverbs 3:5-7.</ref> Leaning on your own understanding, and being wise in your own eyes, is pride. Proverbs tells us ''The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom''<ref>Proverbs 9:10a.</ref> and ''Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding,''<ref>Proverbs 4:7.</ref> that is to say, not our own wisdom and understanding, which is pride.

Pride, the original sin, started with Lucifer ''worshipping and serving the creature more than the Creator.'' It was passed onto Adam, and from Adam, the whole human race became prodigals.
