How humble do you think people are when they say they are humble?

People who compare themselves with other people are likely still proud, even if they think others are better than themselves. When we compare ourselves with Christ we have a true evaluation of ourselves.

All you have to do is look at their actions.Actions do speak louder than words.

For some people it might be a true reflection of who they are, for others it might be that they are trying to convince themselves or others that they are humble yet they are not really humble.

God has promised to give grace to the humble,while he opposes the proud Proverbs 3:34.Like Paul,the truly humble will glory in grace of God and in the cross,not in self righteousness Philippians 3:3-9

Better question. How humble are we if we are judging who is humble and who is not? Food for thought.

To answer your question as straightforward as possible, I would say not very humble. Biblical humility as I understand it, is not about yourself or others. It's about a recognition and understanding of your dependence of God, a recognition and understanding of who God is in your words, actions and most of all, your heart.

Don't you thin k that the minute you think that you are humble you're actually full of pride?

 

 

Phil.2:3

Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves,

Remember the old song?

 

Oh Lord it's hard to be humble

When your'e perfect in every way

I can't even look in the mirror

I get better looking each day....

 

It's a very funny parody of someone who is too perfect to be humble!
