DC28:20—Getting Equipped: The Character Traits of a Follower of Jesusಮಾದರಿ
DAY FOUR
As we love and obey, humility is a key ingredient to godliness. Why is humility an essential character quality for a Christ-follower? Can you think of a great person who is also humble? How does his/her life demonstrate humility?
Read Philippians 2:5-11 and I Peter 5:6-7. Reflect on the importance of humility and how it should manifest itself in your life.
[Philippians 2:5-11 NIV] 5 In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: 6 Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; 7 rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death—even death on a cross! 9 Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
[1 Peter 5:6-7 NIV] 6 Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. 7 Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
