Apostles must walk in humility and guard against pride and presumption. The snare of Uzziah’s pride made him a leper and cut him off from the house of the Lord. Pride goes before destruction (see Proverbs 16:18). It is difficult to be wonderfully gifted and powerful, yet not yield to pride. But the trap of pride can be escaped if apostles recognize and remember that their gift is by the grace of God.
