    what is the power of christian humility ?
  • S Spencer - In Reply - 2 years ago
    Hi.

    Humility is the opposite of pride.

    God says He resists the proud, but He is always on the side of the humble. "The fear of the Lord is to hate evil; pride and arrogance and the evil way and the perverse mouth I hate" Proverbs 8:13.

    John tells us that "the pride of life-is not of the Father but is of the world" ( 1 John 2:16). Where does the pride of life come from? If there is anything that comes from the devil, that is it.

    Even our salvation should spoken of with humility, It is something about which to glorify God. It should humble you being you had no part in it.

    Paul writes, "Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus" Philippians 2:5.

    What kind of mind did He have? Lowliness of mind. He said, "Take my yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle meek] and lowly in heart. Matthew 11:29.

    Pride is destroying the testimony of many Christians and has made them ineffective for God. They go in for show and draw people after themselves but they are building nothing more than wood hay and stubble.

    Jesus tought a lesson in Humility in John 13:8-15. ( Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am.

    If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet.

    For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.)

    Matthew 23:11-12. But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.

    And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.

    If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

    Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another. Galatians 5:25-26.

    God bless.
