Humility - Day 2 - Q&A

"Do not be selfish about one another. Rather, in humility, regard others above yourselves" - Philippians 2:3


First of all, What is humility?

Humility is putting others before yourself, understanding and obeying each other, not being proud and always communicating to one another.

Why is humility so important? 

 When we are humble we are able to communicate to each other and be a good man.
"Listen to the advice of a good man...." (Proverbs 19:20)
If you want to be on God's side you have to obey his commandments, am I right? Yes.

 Why shouldn't we be proud? 
A good question! God has said through King Solomon and through James the half-brother of Jesus, that God does not like proud people. Where is evidence? "God is against the proud but gives grace to the humble" - James 4:6/Proverbs 3:34 ".. I have a plan for those who are proud..."  Proverbs 15:25

 Why is humility such a key thing? 
God wants us to be like Jesus. "...having the same mindset as Jesus Christ.." - Philippians 2:5
Jesus was always a humble man! " And when he was living as a man, he humbled himself and was obedient to God, even when that caused his death----on the cross. Humility is just one out of all the key things to a better world.

What makes faith work? Learn MORE about faith in this devotional...

"That according to the riches of His glory, He may grant you to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith..." - Ephesians 3:16-17 KJV Okay. I wanted to talk a little bit more on faith. When Paul writes 'dwell in your hearts through faith' what does it mean? This means that we have to show our confidence and belief in Christ, before He comes into our hearts. He knows when we want to trick Him or not. So don't bother being cunning! Because wisdom comes from the Lord! So, if our human efforts cannot make faith to work, what can? (Zechariah 4:6) Our confidence and belief in Jesus! We just have to say, "Jesus, take care of this for me. I don't want to any more. I can't do it by my own power." Acknowledging that you can't do it alone, gives you the first step forward. Then comes the hard bit. When I mean hard, I mean HARD. Because most people people fall away aft...
