COMMENTARY
Whenever pride and ambition are indulged, the life is marred; for pride, feeling no need, closes the heart against the infinite blessings of Heaven.11Prophets and Kings, 60. FLB 68.5. Pride of heart is a fearful trait of character. “Pride goeth before destruction.” This is true in the family, the church, and the nation.12Testimonies for the Church 4:377. FLB 68.6. I saw that God hates pride, and that all the proud and all that do wickedly shall be stubble, and the day that cometh shall burn them up. I saw that the third angel's message must yet work like leaven upon many hearts that profess to believe it, and purge away their pride, selfishness, covetousness, and love of the world. 1T 132.3
Jesus is coming; and will He find a people conformed to the world? and will He acknowledge these as His people that He has purified unto Himself? Oh, no. None but the pure and holy will He acknowledge as His. Those who have been purified and made white through suffering, and have kept themselves separate, unspotted from the world, He will own as His. 1T 133.1. by Ellen G White.
