The Big Idea:
It takes humility to become a Christian. We first humble ourselves and admit that we are sinners and that we can’t make it on our own. We confess our need for Christ's sacrifice on the cross. Prise is rejected by God, but grace is given to those who humble themselves before him.
Main Points:
1. Though humility is rarely talked about in today’s culture, it is a character trait God highly values.
2. Pride is the wall that will keep any sinner from a relationship with God and God loves sinners so He hates pride. Pride can lead us to exclude God from His rightful place in our hearts.
3. In my life I cannot be prideful and God be great. It can’t happen at the same time. Either I think God is great or I think I am great. Let’s recognize God’s greatness and humble ourselves before him.
