Christ has set us an example of humility (Philippians 2:6-8 ). We should be led thereto by a remembrance of our sins (Lamentations 3:39 ), and by the thought that it is the way to honour (Proverbs 16:18 ), and that the greatest promises are made to the humble (Psalm 147:6; Isaiah 57:15; 66:2; 1 Peter 5:5 ). It is a "great paradox in Christianity that it makes humility the avenue to glory."
