Meaning of Humility
Humility means lowliness of mind, absence of pride, arrogance or boastfulness. It is also the state of being humble, meek and modest. Humility is one of the greatest attributes of a good Christian. Without humility, one’s claim to be a Christian is not genuine.
Paul’s Teaching on Humility (Phil. 2:1-11)
In Paul’s letter to the Philippians, Paul urges the Christians to possess a sense of love, sharing in the spirit, affection and sympathy in order to complete the joy of being Christians by living in harmony with one another.
Christians are warned to desist from any act of selfishness and conceit but should show humility. This means they should put others first before themselves. They should imitate Jesus Christ whose humility should be a model for them.
