INTRODUCTION
Micah 6:8
He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you?
To act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.
True Biblical Humility:
Moves Us from Misplaced Self Confidence
To
A Humble Christ-Confidence!
I. WE ARE ALL FAMILIAR WITH MISPLACED SELF-CONFIDENCE
A. Peter…
Matthew 26:33
Even if all fall away on account of you, I never will.
Luke 22:61
The Lord turned and looked straight at Peter.
B. Paul….
Galatians 2:20
I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body,
I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
Philippians 3: 4-6
If anyone else thinks he has reasons to put confidence in the flesh, I have more: 5 circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; in regard to the law, a Pharisee; 6 as for zeal, persecuting the church; as for legalistic righteousness, faultless.
Philippians 3:7-9
But whatever was to my profit, I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. 8 What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ 9 and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ—the righteousness that comes from God and is by faith.
