MEEKNESS

MEEKNESS

It is that peaceful and humble serenity of spirit, by virtue of which man is not easily carried away by anger due to the faults or anger of others (Prov. 16:32; Jas. 3:7, 8, 13).

God dwells with a spirit of that lineage and grants it special blessings (Isa. 57:15; 66:2; Mt. 5:5).

Meekness is a Christian grace (1 Tim. 6:11), acquired even by many naturally fiery spirits, such as Moses (Ex. 2:12; Num. 12:3) and Paul (Acts 26:10, 11; 1 Cor. 9:19), and must be acquired by all who want to be like Christ.

It is a fruit of the Spirit (Gal. 5:23; 6:1), of love (1 Cor. 4:21) and of divine goodness (Col. 3:12).
