Humility

Pride and humility are opposed to one another. Humility is simply, “The absence of pride or arrogance.” In Philippians 2, Paul points to Jesus as the perfect personification of humility. Jesus emptied himself so that we could receive salvation. Humility also looks like the servants in Jesus's parable who invested what their master entrusted to them so that when he returned the servants were called, "Good and faithful servants." In the same way, as we do our work as faithful stewards of God’s grace, God works through us to accomplish great things.
