Sunday Schoolisms Plus: #14: A Humble Christian


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?"
