Humility

Mere introspection is not humility. Ecumenism is not humility. Fear of man is not humility. Often what we reward as humility is the sin of cowardice. Biblical humility, Christian humility is unashamed of the Person, work and words of Jesus Christ. True humility is often accused of being prideful. In fact, humility is seeing things biblically, precisely as God sees them in His blessed Son. Beyond that, we do not only see such things, but are moved to exhort what is true and refute that which contradicts the only truth in Scripture. True humility boasts that Jesus Christ is God and is coming to judge the world, lest she repent of her vile wickedness and turn to Him in saving faith.
