Meaning of HUMILITY

That attitude that recognizes one's place as a creature of God, opposed to presumption, affectation or pride.



That attitude that recognizes one's place as a creature of God, opposed to presumption, affectation or pride.

The humble person recognizes his dependence on God, he does not seek dominion over his fellow men, but rather he learns to value them above himself (Jb. 22:29; Ps. 10:17; Pr. 3:34; 29:23 ; Isa. 57:15; Rom. 12:16).

God himself cares for the humble (2 Cor. 7:6), and gives them grace (1 Pet. 5:5).
In his time, God will exalt the humble above the proud who oppress them (Ps. 147:6; Luke 1:52).

The Lord Jesus is the paradigm of humility, because being God of glory, he humbled himself by assuming human nature, and in all his steps he gave the true example of humility in all his dealings with those around him (Mt. 11:29; cf. Jn. 13:2-14; Mt. 23:8-12; Mr. 10:42-45).
True humility is distinguished from the false form of humility that leads to hypocrisy.

It is, more than a voluntary contempt for oneself, an honest assessment of oneself as a creature and the acquisition of the awareness that we are and have nothing that has not been given to us by God, and that all of this is at the mercy of God. so that we can serve with the attitude of heart governed by the Holy Spirit, and described, under the name of "fruit of the Spirit", in its multiformity in Gal. 5:22, 23.



In Christmas, the worlds of secular and spiritual come together.

The Transcendental Importance of Christmas

Philip Yancey
Unlike most people, I do not feel much Dickensian nostalgia at Christmastime. The holiday fell just a few days after my father died early in my childhood, and all my memories of the season are darkened by the shadow of that sadness.
The gospel is good news, and God will give them the peace they need to submit to Him.

The Message of Christmas

Charles Stanley
One of the messages that we learn from the Christmas story is that of peace. While God might appear overwhelming at times, He always wants to give us the assurance that with Him, peace reigns, even in the announcement of His Son’s birth.
Why is this analogy important to us today? It is because we are the sheep and Jesus is the Shepherd.

The Voice of the Shepherd

Charles Stanley
Have you ever seen a child who cannot find his mother in a crowd? Although she may be out of sight, the little tyke may still hear her voice. It is almost as though his inner radar scans the sounds around him, looking for that one familiar tone.
Embrace your weakness and put your trust in the Holy Spirit. That’s where the real power resides.

Where the Real Power Resides

Charles R. Swindoll
The great apostle Paul was just like you and me. He had a love for God blended with feet of clay. Great passion . . . and great weakness. The longer I thought about this blend, the more evidence emerged from Scripture to support it.
Faith isn’t passive. It’s active. If you don’t believe me, read Hebrews 11.

Shut Up and Get Moving

Steven Furtick
When we’re looking for God to do something big. When we’re waiting to see God bring something new and greater into our lives. Be still. Let the Lord fight the battle for you. Let go and let God.
