1 | deceitfulness of the heart | Gal 2:20 | azurelaw | 207312 | ||
"Spiritual humiliation is the essence of Christian self-denial...he must deny his natural self-righteousness and self-centredness...is the hardest to do..." "...be careful, in case you become proud of your humility! Examine yourself. If you conclude, 'It seems to me that no-one is as sinful as I am,' do not be satisfied with this. Do you think you are better than others, because you admit that you are so sinful? Do you have a high opinion of this humility of yours? If you say, 'No, I do not have a high opinion of my humility, I think I am as proud as the devil,' then examine yourself again. Perhaps you are proud of the fact that you do not have a high opinion of your humility? You might be proud of admitting how proud you are!" --- Jonathan Edwards Jer 17:9 The heart is more deceitful than all else And is desperately sick; Who can understand it? |

2 | deceitfulness of the heart | Gal 2:20 | DocTrinsograce | 207313 | ||
Amen! "Humility is contrary to pride; and therefore consists: 1. In a contentedness with that degree and state which God has assigned us. 2. In mean thoughts of ourselves, esteeming ourselves no greater, wiser, or better than we are. 3. In a willingness and desire that others should not think of us, or speak of us, or use us, as greater, or wiser, or better than we are; that they should give us not more honor, praise, or love than is our due; the redundancy being but a deceit or lie, and an abuse of us and them. 4. In the avoiding of all inordinate aspiring endeavors, and a contented exercise of our assigned offices, and doing the meanest works of our own places. 5. In the avoiding of all ostentation or appearance of that greatness, wisdom, or goodness which we have not; and fitting our speeches, apparel, provisions, furniture, and all our deportment and behavior to the meanness of our parts, and place, and worth. This is the very nature of humility." --Richard Baxter |
