It is characterized by a lack of pride and an acknowledgment of one's dependence on God. Humility is a virtue that is highly esteemed in Scripture and is often associated with wisdom, grace, and favor from God.<br><br><b>Biblical References:</b><br><br>1. <b>Old Testament:</b><br>· <b><a href="/proverbs/11-2.htm">Proverbs 11:2</a> :</b> "When pride comes, disgrace follows, but with humility comes wisdom." This verse highlights the contrast between pride and humility, emphasizing that wisdom is a companion of the humble.<br>· <b><a href="/micah/6-8.htm">Micah 6:8</a> :</b> "He has shown you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you but to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?" Here, humility is presented as a fundamental requirement for a righteous life, alongside justice and mercy.<br><br>2. <b>New Testament:</b><br>· <b><a href="/matthew/5-3.htm">Matthew 5:3</a> :</b> "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." The phrase "poor in spirit" is often understood as a form of humility, recognizing one's spiritual need and dependence on God.<br>· <b><a href="/philippians/2-3.htm">Philippians 2:3-4</a> :</b> "Do nothing out of selfish ambition or empty pride, but in humility consider others more important than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others." This passage encourages believers to adopt a humble attitude in their relationships, valuing others above themselves.<br><br><b>Theological Significance:</b><br><br>Humility is a central theme in Christian theology, reflecting the character of Christ and the nature of the Christian life. Jesus Christ is the ultimate example of humility, as described in <a href="/philippians/2-5.htm">Philippians 2:5-8</a> : "Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, existing in the form of God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to death—even death on a cross."<br><br><b>Practical Application:</b><br><br>Believers are called to emulate Christ's humility in their daily lives. This involves a conscious effort to put aside pride, seek God's will, and serve others selflessly. <a href="/james/4-10.htm">James 4:10</a> advises, "Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will exalt you." This promise assures believers that God honors and lifts up those who choose humility over self-exaltation.<br><br><b>Humility in Worship and Prayer:</b><br><br>Humility is also essential in worship and prayer, as it positions the believer to receive God's grace and guidance. <a href="/1_peter/5-6.htm">1 Peter 5:6</a> instructs, "Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, so that in due time He may exalt you." This attitude of humility acknowledges God's sovereignty and invites His intervention in one's life.<br><br><b>Conclusion:</b><br><br>The biblical concept of humility is integral to the Christian faith, shaping the believer's relationship with God and others. It is a virtue that leads to spiritual growth, divine favor, and a deeper understanding of God's purposes.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
