Q30. Humble Lifestyle


Recommended Posts

This life that God has blessed us with, the mind, the body and soul, the spirit;  God made us to perservere, to survive lifes challenges, to love one another and to learn from Gods spirit.  To learn to live as Christ requires a willing heart, and a humblemindset.  I cannot learn the word of God while being cloaked in self.  Giving up what the world has tainted me with is the step that I when through just to learn truth from the lessons of Christ.  Humbling ones self is a gift of God.  Without God how does ones change himself.  Humbling myself before God is a result of the Holy Spirits word in the chosen people of God.

We live for Him because of what He did for us. Romans 5:8. Such love should lead to a humble heart. A grateful heart. A thankful heart. A heart filled with unexplainable love not only for God but for others. John 13:34-35 He died so that we can live a joyful life!

30. (Titus 2:15-3:2) How does living God's way require humbling ourselves before God?
We come out of the world and the ways of the world and everything is different.  In one place in the Bible it says to stop doing evil and learn to do good.  Our mind has to be renewed.  We have to admit we don't know it all or maybe we don't know what we thought we knew.  How is life really working?  How are our relationships?  Are we light?  Do we love?  Do we even understand what God is saying?  We have to come to Him and learn.  We have to humble ourselves and let the light in to be changed from the old to the new.  When conviction comes, it is a gift and gives us the light to turn to change to be new and in the image of the one who died for us.  Repentance is a gift and we can only do it when we are humble enough to see what we need to change. I think most of us fear change and we need his help to even cooperate with Him. We humble ourselves and come unto Him.

i am learning to live a live of submission instead of a life of obedience.  submission requires that i yield my thoughts, my will, my mind, my body to The Holy Spirit and Jesus Christ, my LORD and Savior.   i have zero control of over a life of submission.  I 100% turn my life over to The LORD Jesus Christ.... a life of obedience is me choosing to follow Christ which will always result in failure, since my choice, as a human being will always be to sin.....but living a life of submission frees me from the bondage of sin and puts me into a relationship with the LORD Jesus Christ by Him living in me.

Living God's way require humbling ourselves before God expects us to be obedient to the Will of God. Jesus Christ must be in the center of our lives so that we do not do as it our flesh dictates but always listening to the Holy Spirit as He guides our lives. We must be compassionate to the needs of all God's people and always remember the Great Commission as we are called to lead God's people to the Light, Jesus Christ. As God's children, we are to be the salt of the earth and the light of the world, therefore, humbling ourselves before God is key for us to carry out God's mandate.

How does living God's way require humbling ourselves before God?

Before Jesus I was rebellious, mean, selfish, cold, arrogant and that lifestyle cause me to destroy relationships, and many things in my life.   When I received Jesus everything changed and I realized I was broken and the only way to heal was to live as He lived.  Over time, I was transformed by the renewing of my mind, heart and my actions were completely different. It was when I humbled myself and ultimately asked for forgiveness to someone that God was able to use me...  Little by little we learn to live His way and wow is that the best way...

The humble man must be rooted in the Lord.  I find in myself a humble person; I find that humility in Christ is nothing like simple humility (websters) This indwelling spirit changes everything in the saved man.  Gone are the self-guided approach to being humble. The Lords supernatural teachings are activated.  The self-taught way is gone, and I sense it in my spirit. Humility searches the soul and instill confidence in the teacher's way.  Does anybody see change in their humility from the teaching in this class?
