True Humility

"So then, as it is written, Let him who boasts and proudly rejoices and glories, boast and proudly rejoice and glory in the Lord. [Jer. 9:24.] (1 Corinthians 1:31 AMP)

Bible never say we should not boast, it rather says we boast in the Lord. A clear understanding of what God has done for us in Christ spontaneously excites gratitude. If you see it, like some said, "there will be a shout in your heart!" 

There is a kind of humility that glories in human weakness, his unworthiness and frailties; thats at best religious humility, and its nothing more than self-righteousness. 

True humility glories in what the Father has done for us in Christ (1Corinthians 1:30-31); its hallmark is abundance of thanksgiving to God for, His redemption and demonstration of grace in the cross and resurrection of Christ. 

He prays in religious humility he who says "am a wretched worm, unworthy to approach His throne"; thats not acceptable before God.

The man who the bible truly recognises as humble regularly speaks 2Corinthians 3:5 in various paraphrases: "It is not that we think we are qualified to do anything on our own. Our qualification comes from God." (2 Corinthians 3:5 NLT). He speaks with God in prayer with boldness full of gratitude. "Giving thanks to the Father, Who has qualified and made us fit to share the portion which is the inheritance of the saints (God's holy people) in the Light." (Colossians 1:12 AMP)

We rejoice because of what He did and whom he has made us in Christ. Hallelujah!  blessed?
