You’re a saint, so be humble! Ephesians 4:2
What is humility? • Biblical humility is grounded in the character of God. • A remembrance of weaknesses and sins, and seeing things from this perspective. • Not grasping or claiming power, promoting others above yourself (Phil 2)
What is false humility? • Always putting yourself down is not humility. • A failure to see what God sees, leads to insignificance, disappointment and anger. • The picture is of Christ (Phil 2v5). • The concern is that we don’t do what God designed us for.
How do you live humbly? • Admit weaknesses. • Recognise God’s control, don’t seek it for yourself. • See people from God’s perspective. Imagine God’s glory in people. • Don’t judge, complain or manipulate. Promote and build and encourage.
