Humility (Part 2)
Individual TopicsSteve Gregg
Steve Gregg discusses the concept of humility and pride in a religious context. He explains that people often give value to things that are not of importance to God, such as physical strength or riches, and that pride is a delusion of superiority that affixes artificial value. Gregg suggests that one antidote to proud thoughts is acknowledging that everything we have is a gift from God and giving Him the glory. He further explains that humility is a positive virtue that requires divine nature to become part of our character, and that we should serve others without seeking credit or recognition.
