3 nephi 6: 15 - 30
what do these verses teach about the relationship between pride and satan's power to tempt us?
--> satan leads these people away by enticing them with riches, and the "vain things of the world". as they became more and more set on those things, their attention is diverted further and further from the Lord and things of an eternal nature. the saddest verse is verse 18 - "they did not sin ignorantly, for they knew the will of God concerning them, for it had been taught unto them, therefore they did willfully rebel against God". pride has a way of creeping in and overtaking our ability to think coherently because we have a cloudy view of what really matters. there is a great sermon on pride that was given in general conference years ago. if you'd like to read that, click here.
