What are the characteristics of a meek person?

Answered in 1 source

Meek individuals possess humility, reject reliance on the flesh, and trust in God's justice and timing.

The characteristics of a meek person are profoundly defined by their relationship with God. According to the sermon, meek individuals recognize that there is no good that comes from acting in the flesh, understanding that the flesh leads to death (Romans 8:6). They embrace humility, relinquishing personal vindication and instead, trusting that vengeance belongs to the Lord (Romans 12:19). Meek individuals also have no axes to grind; their focus is on serving God and living according to His Word rather than seeking approval from the world. Such traits are essential for Christian conduct, as they align believers with the attitudes and actions that reflect Christ’s nature and are often countercultural in a society that prizes aggression and self-advancement.
