Humility - Danilo Montero Christian Sermons 2023 This message delves into the power and value of the most important principle of all: humility. If you can understand it, internalize it, and practice it, you will have the key to developing a deep friendship with God and enriching all your personal relationships. The biblical text in 1 Peter 5:5-8 and the parable in Luke 18 teach us about the importance of spiritual humility. Humility connects us with God in an appropriate way and allows us to relate correctly to others. Spiritual pride, as exemplified by the Pharisee in the parable, disconnects us from God, from others, and from our own being. The Pharisee takes pride in his achievements and compares himself to others, living a false spirituality based on perfectionism and legalism. Humility, on the other hand, allows us to recognize our weaknesses and depend on the saving power of God. It connects us with God's grace and frees us from the guilt and frustration that pride can generate. This sermon suggests some ways to live humility, such as admiring it, observing humble people, acting with humility, being open to constructive criticism and stopping worrying about demonstrating it, since true humility is not centered on oneself.
