Pride and Holy Spirit

Prideful makes people STUPID. Pride also will lead people to hell. Lucifer fell because of his pride and became Satan. It was pride that made him fell. Desire to be equal or be like God is PRIDE. Proverbs 11:2 When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom Proverbs 16:18 Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall. Proverbs 29:23 A man's pride brings him low, but a man of lowly spirit gains honor. What causes a person not to be saved? It is pride to refuse to acknowledge the conviction of the Holy Spirit to repent and turn to Jesus for salvation. Without the Holy Spirit, I could not REPENT. We cannot repent on our own. We are to repent with the help from the Holy Spirit who will help us TRANSFORM us to the image of God. People can either acknowledge the conviction of the Holy Spirit to repent and come to Christ in faith. OR Acts 7:51 "You stiff-necked people, with uncircumcised hearts and ears! You are just like your fathers: You always resist the Holy Spirit! 1 Thessalonians 4:8 Therefore, he who rejects this instruction does not reject man but God, who gives you his Holy Spirit. Are people willing to acknowledge the conviction of the Holy Spirit is the question. Since sin often ignores the Holy Spirit... not many will acknowledge. People will (as 2 Timothy 3:7 says) always learning but never able to acknowledge the truth.
