THE LORD CAUSES & EXPECTS HUMILITY (2)

(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. 

2. The Lord Causes And Expects Humility

Psalms 25:9 
He leads the humble in what is right, and teaches the humble his way.

Psalms 55:19 
God will give ear and humble them, he who is enthroned from of old, Selah because they do not change and do not fear God.

1 Peter 5:5 
Likewise, you who are younger, be subject to the elders. Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” 



The End ...
