Humility

A prominent Christian grace (Romans 12:3; 15:17,18; 1 Corinthians 3:5-7; 2 co 3:5; Philippians 4:11-13 ). It is a state of mind well pleasing to God (1 Peter 3:4 ); it preserves the soul in tranquillity (Psalm 69:32,33 ), and makes us patient under trials (Job 1:22 ).

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."
