Freedom Calls

Humility is a heart surrendered to God, trusting His will and lifting others above ourselves. Scripture reveals it as the key to grace and glory, guiding us to live for Him.

Matthew 5:3 (KJV)

“Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”

Jesus teaches that admitting our need for God opens the door to His kingdom—a promise of blessing now and forever.

C.S. Lewis

“Humility is not thinking less of yourself, but thinking of yourself less.” – Mere Christianity

This shifts our focus to God and others, freeing us from pride’s grip.

Philippians 2:3-4 (NKJV)

“Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.”

Paul calls us to Christ’s example, putting others first in love.

Andrew Murray

“Humility is the displacement of self by the enthronement of God.” – Humility

When God reigns in us, humility shapes every action.

James 4:6 (NKJV)

“But He gives more grace. Therefore He says: ‘God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.’”

Humility draws God’s grace; pride pushes it away.

1 Peter 5:5-6 (NKJV)

“Likewise you younger people, submit yourselves to your elders. Yes, all of you be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility, for ‘God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.’ Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time.”

Peter urges mutual humility, trusting God to lift us up.

Romans 8:30 (NKJV)

“Whom He justified, them He also glorified.”

God’s plan for humble hearts ends in glory, fulfilling His purpose.

Proverbs 3:5-6 (NKJV)

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.”

Humility trusts God’s wisdom over our own.

1 Timothy 4:8 (NKJV)

“For bodily exercise profits a little, but godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come.”

Humility, a core of godliness, brings eternal rewards.

Charles Spurgeon

“Humility is to make a right estimate of one’s self.” – Sermons

It’s seeing ourselves as God does—neither proud nor diminished.

Live It Out

Humility grows through prayer: “Lord, help me serve You and others.” Meditate on these verses. Act with kindness—listen well, serve quietly, trust God. Humility unlocks His grace and leads to His glory.
