ACTING HUMBLE SHOWS OUR PRIDE

Posted by George Soepboer Sr

Whenever we act humble than we are full-grown in pride

Humility is not within our power it can only come upon us by the hand of God, for we can never make ourselves humble that can only be ours through God.
( Deuteronomy chapter 8 ).

When we act humble that means we are not humble, for pride makes us look and act humble but not so when we are humbled by God.
( Hebrews 2:7-11 ).

The greatest pride is hidden in the act of self-made humility, but when we are brought low by God only then do we humble ourselves before God.
( Matthew 7:15-20 ).

Jesus Christ the Son of God was made humble on the cross by God to save us from being condemned by God.
( Matthew 26:36-46 ).

We also must be humbled by God to live in harmony with God and to live in friendship with God, for only the humility that comes from God opens the way for us to God, for then we will beg for grace by God to be forgiven of our sins by God.
( James 4:6-10 ).
