How should Christians respond to their own humility?

In a world that often values self-promotion and pride, Christians are called to a radically different standard of humility. Like John the Baptist, who understood his role was to point others to Christ rather than seek his own glory, believers should view themselves in light of God’s sovereignty and grace. This means acknowledging that any success or gift they possess is ultimately from God ('James 1:17'). A humble heart is quick to listen, slow to speak, and eager to serve others, reflecting Christ's character. As believers embrace their own lack before God, they find a deeper appreciation for the grace that has saved them, leading to lives lived in gratitude and service to the glory of God.
