Presentation transcript:

 God’s word says a great deal about a Christian’s character: Gal. 5:22-23; 2 Pet. 1:5-7; 2 Cor. 8:21; Eph. 4:25  One of a Christian’s most important character traits is humility: Phil. 2:5-8  There are many misconceptions about humility. 2

 Even His enemies recognized the power of Christ: Mk. 1:27; Jn. 5:19  Humble people recognize their weakness and allow God’s power to work in them: 2 Cor. 12:7-10  How about you? How about me? 4 The Truth About Humility

 Jesus was “meek and lowly in heart”; the most humble man to ever live! Matt. 11:29; Phil. 2:5-8  But His humility did not prevent Him from exercising leadership: 1 Pet. 5:4  Was Jesus a Mr. Milquetoast? NO! 1 Tim. 6:15; Rom. 1:16; Matt. 28:18; Col. 1:16, 18  Some cite their humility as an excuse to not exercise leadership: 1 Tim. 3:2-7  Rather than hindering leadership, humility defines the style of leadership pleasing to God: 1 Pet. 5:2-3 5 The Truth About Humility

 Jesus dished out some of the most scathing rebukes recorded in Scripture: Matt. 19:13-15; 21:12-13; Matt. 23  But Jesus was just as humble in Matthew 21 and 23 as He was in chapter 19.  In each case His words were not His own: Jn. 5:30  Humility should characterize all of our dealings with sinners and those in error: 2 Tim. 2:24-25; Gal. 6:1 6 The Truth About Humility

 The church needs all of us! Rom. 12:4- 8; 1 Cor. 12:12; Eph. 4:16  Some don’t participate fully using the pretense of humility.  The demands of humility are in Philippians 2:3 7 The Truth About Humility

 Many believe humility requires this type of behavior.  In reality such a person is exhibiting false humility.  Such a person is proud of being humble! Lk. 18:11-12  Humility isn’t the cause of such a situation; it’s the solution: Phil. 2:3-4; Jn. 19:11 8 The Truth About Humility

 True humility replaces self-seeking with seeking first the kingdom of God: Matt. 6:33  True humility requires:  Forsaking one’s self-will for God’s will: Matt. 7:21  Suppressing one’s self-confidence for confidence in God: 2 Tim. 1:12  Substituting self-exaltation with exaltation by God: 1 Pet. 5:6 9 “Lord, thy love at last has conquered: None of self, and all of Thee.”
