NOTE

HUMILITY (Philippians 2:1-11, 1Peter 5:5-11)

Humility is the state of beings humble, meek, lowly and modest. It also means a state of not thinking you are better than someone else. It is also the state of being lowly in heart. A humble person is not arrogant, He is modest in everything he does he is unassuming. Humility is one of the attributes of good Christian. Among the apostles, St. Paul and St. Peter make remarkable teaching on this

 

ST PAUL’S, TEACHING ON HUMILITY (PHILIPPIANS 2:1-11)

In this epistle to the Philippians 2:1-11) Stressed the need for a sense of humility among the church members. As at the time Paul wrote the message great disunity existed among the church members as a result of lack of humility. Paul therefore advised them to be in harmony and not to do anything out of selfishness or conceit. They should not be self-centered. They should not be self-interest of others above their own.

St Paul’s use the case of Jesus Christ to show them what humility is all about. He said Jesus was in form of God, but he did not count himself equal to God. He took the form of an ordinary servants and was born in the likeness of man.

In the human form, he humbled himself and became Obedient unto death. Even the death of the cross which was considered as one of the worst forms of death. For this reason, he said “God has highly exalted him and given him name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the father’ Philippians 2:9-11)
