Humility

A classic devotional in modern language, with extra content by Andrew Murray on the subject of Humility. Andrew Murray boldly challenges the thought that merely recognizing our sin keeps us humble. He takes humility to a deeper level by teaching it is only genuine when both one's attitude and actions are holy. To be kind, compassionate, and forgiving are graces rooted in humility. If one is incapable of showing them, then pride as taken root in their heart. Therefore, we must bow before God in nothingness before we will be exalted in His presence, empowering us to live as He commands us to.

Is humility a Christlike attribute that should be pursued? And even if it should be, can genuine humility actually be attained? Often so practical in application that it is overlooked, the answer is found by studying the life and words of Christ ( whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your slave ). This little book is a loud call to all committed Christians to prove that meekness and lowliness of heart is the evidence by which those who follow the meek and lowly Lamb of God are to be known. Never mind that your initial efforts will be misunderstood, taken advantage of, or even resisted. Instead, learn from the One who came not to be ministered unto, but to serve . For a Christian to be alive, for the life of Christ to reign in and through us, we must be empty of ourselves, exchanging our life for His life, our pride for true, Christlike humility.
