Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.

Philippians 2:3‭-‬4 NIV

1.Humility is glad that God gets the credit for choosing us so that we boast only in him and not in ourselves.

2.Humility happily admits that everything we have is a free gift from God, so we can’t boast in it, no matter how distinctive it is.

3.Humility is glad to affirm that God sovereignly governs the heartbeats of our life and all of our safe arrivals or non-arrivals.

4.The root of Christian humility is the gospel that Christ died for our sins. That’s how sinful we are, and that’s how dependent we are on grace.

5.Humility gives itself away in serving everyone rather than seeking to be served.

6.Humility is glad to affirm that this service is true greatness.
