How do we know that meekness is true?

Answered in 1 source

Meekness is a genuine fruit of the Spirit in believers, validated by their transformation and attitude toward God.

The truth of meekness is evidenced by its manifestation in the lives of believers, who embody this characteristic as a result of the Holy Spirit's work within them. Galatians 5:22 lists meekness as a fruit of the Spirit, indicating that it is not a natural human trait but a divine gift that reflects one's relationship with God. Since meekness involves acknowledging God's sovereignty and responding to life's circumstances with gratitude rather than complaint, it aligns with the core teachings of Reformed theology that stress human reliance on divine grace. Thus, meekness is true because it emerges from a heart transformed by the gospel and the spirit of Christ.
