Humility is the way to God's favor. It is the way to form and then maintain a relationship with Him. It is also the way to maintain our human relationships as well.
Humility is not just required before God; it is also required before one another. Because of this, humility is one of the most needed characteristics and virtues in the Body of Christ today. The Bible clearly shows us that humility is indispensable in the Christian life. "The fear of the Lord is the instruction of wisdom; and before honor is humility" (Proverbs 15:33).
Jesus Himself demonstrated the greatest degree of humility in His earthly life and ministry, and in so doing, He set a pattern for us. The result was this: "God highly exalted him," (Philippians 2:9).
So humility is where we must begin, and humility is where we must remain.
In this book, Pastor David Jones lays out, in the simplest of terms, the horrible consequences of pride and the glorious rewards humility brings.
Best of all, he shows us what is required for each of us to walk humbly before God.
