What does true greatness in God's eyes mean?

Answered in 1 source

True greatness, according to the Bible, is being esteemed in the sight of the Lord, rather than by worldly standards.

True greatness as defined by God differs vastly from human perspectives. In Luke 1:15, it is stated that John the Baptist would be great in the Lord's sight, which indicates that greatness is measured by one's relationship with God and faithfulness to His calling rather than by societal accolades. This is in stark contrast to how the world often defines greatness, which may include fame, wealth, or power. God values humility, service, and holiness, which reflect a heart aligned with His purposes. The greatness of a believer is characterized by grace, obedience, and the influence one has in drawing others towards Christ, making it clear that true worth is found in being used mightily by God to fulfill His purposes.
