Humility

A defining characteristic of a genuine Christian believer is the virtue of humility. Humility is the antithesis of pride and manifests itself most fully when we examine ourselves in light of our sinfulness and God’s perfect holiness. Scripture is clear that a truly humble person has a correct view of themselves, denies self and places others first, exhibits grace and love toward others, and redirects all praise from themselves to Christ. Ultimately, a humble person follows the example of the Lord Jesus Christ, who is our preeminent example of a genuinely humble heart.
