GOD BLESSES THE HUMBLE!
Exodus 10:3 - [To the Gentile Pharaoh] - And Moses and Aaron came in unto Pharaoh, and said unto him, Thus says the LORD God of the Hebrews, How long will you refuse to humble yourself before Me? Let My people go, that they may serve Me.
2 Chronicles 7:14 - [To the Hebrews] - If My people, who are called by My name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
2 Chronicles 12:11-12 - [To the King of Israel] - And when the king entered into the house of the LORD, the guard came and fetched them, and brought them again into the guard chamber. And when he humbled himself, the wrath of the LORD turned from him that He would not destroy him altogether: and also in Judah things went well.
Proverbs 16:18-19 - [A warning to the proud] - Pride goes before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall. Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.
Isaiah 57:15 - [The Lord's promise to the humble] - For thus says the High and lofty One Who inhabits eternity, Whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.
Micah 6:8 - [God's will for pleasing Him] - He has shown you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?
Matthew 18:3-4 - [What humility looks like] - And said, Verily I say unto you, Except you be converted, and become as little children, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
Philippians 2:3-8 - [Jesus as our example] - Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: but made Himself of no reputation, and took upon Himself the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: and being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
James 4:6, 10 - [The humble trust in the Lord] - But He gives more grace. Wherefore He says, God resists the proud, but gives grace unto the humble. - - - Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He shall lift you up.
1 Peter 5:5-6 - [God's promise to the humble] - Likewise, you younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yes, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resists the proud, and gives grace to the humble. Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time!
SALVATION IS HIS GIFT TO BELIEVERS;
THEREFORE NO ONE CAN BOAST!
Romans 3:23-26 - [No man deserves God's grace; it is His unmerited favor] - All have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God has set forth to be a propitiation [The full payment of man's sin debt] through faith in His blood, to declare His righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; to declare, I say, at this time His righteousness: that He might be just, and the justifier of him who believes in Jesus.
Ephesians 2:8-9 - [Those who have nothing for which to boast, are both humble and grateful] - For by grace are you saved through faith; and that is not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast.
GENUINE FAITH RESULTS IN
GRATITUDE, HUMILITY, AND REPENTANCE!
