Authentic and Accountable Living
Learning to Practice True Humility, Part 1
by Veronica Neffinger
Humility is an important character quality in the Christian life. Although most of us know this, we also likely know that humility is one of the most difficult qualities to develop and consistently live out in our Christian walk.
The very nature of humility seems counterintuitive to our culture’s values. Our society applauds independence, fame, success, and self-reliance.
Humility often feels like a paradox, but it’s consistent with Jesus’ teachings. For example, take this passage from Matthew:
“So the last will be first, and the first will be last” (Matthew 20:16).
Or this passage from Mark: “What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?” (Mark 8:36).
To take it even a step further, this representation of the humble being the true recipients of God’s Kingdom and blessings, we need only look at the life Jesus himself lived.
