Summary

At the root of every healthy relationship lies humility. Why? The most toxic sin (and the opposite of humility) is pride. Pride puffs up. Pride is self-sovereign. Pride is self-seeking. C.S. Lewis once wrote, "For pride is spiritual cancer: it eats up the very possibility of love, or contentment, or even common sense." But there's good news! Gospel-fueled humility is the antidote to pride. Thanks for listening! Please remember to subscribe, rate, and review.
