RESULTS OF HUMILITY

(Message by Tanny Keng)

1. Humility

a) Humility is something that is gained and practiced as we grow in wisdom and grace. The Easton’s 1897 Bible Dictionary defines “humility” as: a prominent Christian grace. It is a state of mind well pleasing to God; it preserves the soul in tranquility and makes us patient under trials.

b) Biblical speaking, humility is the opposite of pride. And according to one thesaurus source, some other antonyms for humility are: arrogance, assertiveness, egoism, pretentiousness, and self-importance.
