Pride is self contending with God for preeminence.

15 He is the visible image of the invisible God. He is supreme over all creation, 16 because in connection with him were created all things — in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones, lordships, rulers or authorities — they have all been created through him and for him. 17 He existed before all things, and he holds everything together.
18 Also he is head of the Body, the Messianic Community — he is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that he might hold first place in everything. 19 For it pleased God to have his full being live in his Son 20 and through his Son to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace through him, through having his Son shed his blood by being executed on a stake. — Colossians 1:15-20 | Complete Jewish Bible (CJB) Complete Jewish Bible Copyright © 1998 by David H.

What is the preeminent passion in God’s heart? What is God’s greatest pleasure? How does the happiness of God manifest itself? In what does God take supreme delight? I want to suggest that the preeminent passion in God’s heart is His own glory. God is at the center of His own affections. The supreme love of God’s life is God. God is preeminently committed to the fame of His name. God is Himself the end for which God created the world. Better still, God’s immediate goal in all He does is for His own glory.
