Question to Christians re humility
#10
RE: Question to Christians re humility
Humility just means not boasting, but the Christian version has more to do with a humble submission (not the submission of Islam mind you) where we admit that our "good" works are not because of us or our own actions but because of God's work through us.

We also don't like to think of ourselves as "good" people....now mind you, you'd get a better, more developed answer from a Catholic as they focus more on guilt than Protestants.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.
