The Bible teaches that meekness is a blessed state, exemplified by Jesus, who said, 'Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.'
In Matthew 5:5, Jesus declares, 'Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth,' highlighting that meekness is not weakness but a form of strength that involves restraint and submission to God's will. This characteristic is deeply illustrated in the life of Christ, who demonstrated meekness in His submission during His trial and crucifixion. The contrast with worldly views is stark; while the world often holds pride and aggression as virtues, God values the quiet strength and humility found in meekness as a fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22).
