Humility is not an attitude of unworthiness. Humility is an attitude of worthiness. We are humble when we recognize who we are in Christ. Our identity is in Christ Jesus. When we understand that He considered us worthy to shed His own blood for our sakes to give us His righteousness, we enter the attitude of the fear of the Lord: an awsome respect for the beauty and greatness of God the Father in Jesus Christ and an obedient heart to do His will.
Humility is seeing ourselves as our heavenly Father sees us. When He looks at us, He sees His beloved Son within us. We have been made the righteousness of Christ in God because on the cross Jesus exhanged our self-righteousness for His righteousness.We are now accepted in His beloved Son.
When Christ is the One we look at daily instead of ourselves, we then can walk in humility.
