The human condition (as Disciple Bible Study calls it) has themes that repeat. In the Garden of Eden, pride got in the way. In the Book of Isaiah we see that pride again a problem. Is being proud one of the most dominant themes in the Bible? God lift up the humble but brings low the proud. Here is the passage...
"The eyes of the arrogant man will be humbled and the pride of men brought low; the LORD alone will be exalted in that day. The LORD Almighty has a day in store for all the proud and lofty,for all that is exalted" (and they will be humbled)
The human condition is us human beings making the same mistakes over and over again. "God gives grace to the humble but resists the proud" (James 4:6) is the way Book of James will describe this theme.
