Humility

Humility is the state of being humble. Humility is revealed when we serve others. It's an attitude of submitting ourselves to God's Will to be done in our lives.

The Bible describes humility as meekness, lowliness, and absence of self. Jesus said that those who are "poor in spirit" would have the kingdom of heaven (Matthew 5:3).

Being poor in spirit means that only those who admit to an absolute bankruptcy of spiritual worth will inherit eternal life. Therefore, humility is a prerequisite for Christians.

God has promised to give grace to the humble, while He opposes the proud (Proverbs 3: 34; 1 Peter 5:5).

Therefore, we must confess and put away pride. If we exalt ourselves, we place ourselves in opposition to God who will, in His grace and for our own good, humble us.

But if we humble ourselves, God gives us more grace and exalts us (Luke 14:11).

Humility is revealed when we are serving God and serving others. Humility is offering up our lives for others to see the love of Christ, for them, in us. ... It is an attitude of submission and surrender to God's will to be done here on earth as it is in heaven.
