A prominent Christian grace (
Christ has set us an example of humility (Rom_12:3; Rom_15:17, Rom_15:18; 1Co_3:5-7; 2Co_3:5; Phi_4:11-13). It is a state of mind well pleasing to God (1Pe_3:4); it preserves the soul in tranquillity (Psa_69:32, Psa_69:33), and makes us patient under trials (Job_1:22).Phi_2:6-8). We should be led thereto by a remembrance of our sins (Lam_3:39), and by the thought that it is the way to honour (Pro_16:18), and that the greatest promises are made to the humble (Psa_147:6; Isa_57:15; Isa_66:2; 1Pe_5:5). It is a "great paradox in Christianity that it makes humility the avenue to glory."
