Humility -- Why Bother?

John 1:19-27, 3:23-30

humility: freedom from pride and arrogance; lowliness of mind; a modest estimate of one’s worth; meekness…easily imposed upon, submissive, spineless.

 “Jesus came to bring humility back to earth, to make us partakers of it, and by it—to save us. His own humility has become the ground and root of his relationship to God and His redeeming work. His humility is our salvation. His salvation is our humility.” Andrew Murray, Humility

How do we unleash Humility?

1. Guard your life from EGO

2. Ground your life in God’s Word

3. Get close to life’s dirt

·     My sin

Psalm 51:3, “I know my transgressions, and my sin is always before me.”

·     My mortality

·     My compassion

Ephesians 4:2, “Always be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other’s faults because of your love."

Something happens in you spiritually when you respond physically.
