HUMBLENESS.
THE CALLED AND CHOSEN:
WE ARE TO HUMBLE OURSELVES BEFORE GOD OUR HEAVENLY FATHER AND PAY DUE RESPECT TO MEN AND WOMEN OF FAITH: THAT WE MAY EFFECTIVELY PREACH THE KINGDOM OF GOD TO THE WORLD AS COMMANDED BY CHRIST HIMSELF. (MARK, 16:-15-16)
JAMES, 4:-6 “BUT HE GIVES MORE GRACE. THEREFORE IT SAYS, “GOD OPPOSE THE PROUD, BUT GIVES GRACE TO THE HUMBLE.”
TO HUMBLE OURSELVES IS NOT A REQUEST BUT A REQUIREMENT.
PSALM, 25:-9 “HE LEADS THE HUMBLE IN WHAT IS RIGHT AND TEACHES THE HUMBLE HIS WAY.”
CHRIST HAS LAID DOWN GOOD EXAMPLE OF HOW TO DELINEATE OURSELVES IN THE MIDST OF A CROOKED AND PERVERSE NATION, AMONG WHOM WE MUST SHINE AS LIGHT IN THE WORLD.
MARK, 10:-45 “FOR EVEN THE SON OF MAN CAME NOT TO BE SERVED, BUT TO SERVE, AND TO GIVE HIS LIFE AS RANSOM FOR MANY.”
THEREFORE IT IS UN-CHRISTIAN TO BE MEAN-SPIRITED AND ARROGANT.
FINALLY, BROTHERS, REJOICE. AIM FOR RESTORATION, COMFORT ONE ANOTHER, AGREE WITH ONE ANOTHER, LIVE IN PEACE. AND THE GOD OF LOVE AND PEACE WILL BE WITH YOU. AMEN.
