Humility is defined as having freedom from pride and arrogance. Humbleness is one of the hardest Christian characteristics for some believers to work with. At times we all find ourselves wanting to be humble, but we cannot let go of something that we have pride in. Episode 21 will discuss humility as one of the 7 Ironclad Christian Characteristics. We will do so by studying 2nd Corinthians chapter 12, and the writings of Paul. It is worth stating that the more humble you are the more powerful you are. We see this not only in Paul but more importantly in Christ. Jesus was a humble sacrifice that gives us all eternal life.

This chapter of Corinthians may seem like the lowest point of Paul’s ministry. If we take a closer look we can see that Paul is giving all believers an example of Humility. Humility is one of the hardest for many believers to recognize in themselves. The acts of submission that Paul encounters may be similar to what you are encountering each day in your life right now. Because of this, humility is also one of the hardest traits for us to recognize that we need as we bear our cross each day.

The scripture reference for this podcast will be 2 Corinthians 12: John 16:33, John 1:14, James 4:6
