Humility: The Essential Characteristic of the Christian Life
Tim Meltoon
Proverbs 3:34
Proverbs 3:34 - Toward the scorners he is scornful, but to the humble he gives favor.
Micah 6:8 - He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.
Luke 14:10 - For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.
Proverbs 11:2 - When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom.
Proverbs 15:33 - Wisdom's instruction is to fear the LORD, and humility comes before honor.
Psalm 25:9 - He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them his way.
Psalm 149:4 - For the LORD takes delight in his people; he crowns the humble with victory.
Romans 12:3 - For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you.
Romans 12:16 - Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited.
Philippians 2:3-4 - Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.
Matthew 23:11-12 - The greatest among you will be your servant. For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.
Pride is often present in the heart of man. It seems a natural fit as the world pursues image, power, and success. But when we look at the Bible we see that God desires something totally different for those who follow Christ. In the book of James we are called to humility. This is essential if one is to draw near to Christ.
James 4:6-8,10 tells us that, ''God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.'' 7 Sub ...
