A HUMBLE HEART
One of the assurances of salvation that a Christian should have is this. God will give you the grace of humility. You realize that you cannot save yourself. You understand that there is nothing you can do to gain righteousness with God. Additionally, your own awareness of your own impotence, insufficiency, emptiness and vileness hits you straight in the face. You see the holiness of God in Christ and it makes you humble.
You become conscious of your sinfulness and present unworthiness.
Conscious of your own weaknesses and wickedness.
Conscious of your carnality and corruptions.
Saving faith brings us to Christ as empty handed beggars.
Grace empties us of self conceit.
It empties us of our own self confidence.
It causes us to rejoice in the sinlessness of Christ.
Every person who has genuinely been born again will have a humble heart.
You cry out with the publican in Luke 18:9-14 and say, “God, be merciful to me, the sinner.”
Jesus said in Matthew 5:3 “blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”
Thank you, Lord!
