It can be easy to think of humility as simply a distant ideal or just one of many Christian graces to which we can aspire. But when we begin to understand all that God says about it, we realize how essential a quality it is for growth as a believer, one that requires concerted effort to achieve.

In this message, Dr. Stanley talks about the determination necessary to pursue and exhibit a humble spirit, especially in the face of opposition. The world is very quick to criticize and judge any outward evidence of obedience to God and His principles. Determination is also needed to withstand the attempts of others to accuse and humiliate. But our obedience, and the Christlike spirit that results, is worth every cost.

A life of humility is God’s way for us, just as it was for Jesus. And when He has His way, we are blessed beyond measure.
