    Humility

    Humility is beyond a shadow of a doubt the most significant element of walking in divine favor. It is directly opposed to pride. Where pride seeks selfish gain, humility seeks selfless gain. True humility is to esteem another more greatly than yourself.

    To humble oneself before God in repentance is mandatory for all Christians.The sin of pride is at the root of all evil. Self-exaltation and rebellion is what caused satan to be "cut down to the ground." At one time, satan was called Lucifer, which means "son of the morning." He ...read more
