What does the Bible say about meekness and gentleness?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible teaches that meekness and gentleness are essential qualities exemplified by Christ and expected in believers.
In 2 Corinthians 10:1, Paul appeals to the church by the meekness and gentleness of Christ. Meekness is not weakness; rather, it shows strength under control. Christ displayed this attribute fully, being both God and gentle towards the helpless, emphasizing the power of humility before God. He demonstrated that genuine meekness comes from the Spirit of God, enabling us to treat others with kindness and compassion, especially those in need. This duality in Christ's character—gentle with the needy yet bold against self-righteousness—is a model for how we ought to conduct ourselves as believers.
