What are the marks of genuinely humble Christians?
They acknowledge that.....
- all they are and all they have are gifts of God's unlimited grace.
- they stand constantly in need of God's forgiveness and gratefully and humbly accept God's forgiveness.
- no matter what they have accomplished for God, they are still unprofitable servants, having done only that which was expected.
- they have not reached perfection, but by the grace of God they are striving for that perfection day by day.
- they cannot measure or evaluate themselves by other people (positively or negatively) but must measure themselves by the commandments of God through Christ: "Am I loving God with heart, soul, mind, and strength; and am I loving my neighbor as myself?"
