Whoever exalts himself will be humbled - evangelical messages from the Word of God

Whoever exalts himself will be humbled How to be blessed How to receive God's blessings How to please God The humility that pleases God Only God is great The behavior that pleases God Who humbles himself will be exalted

9Disse also the following parable, as to some who trusted in themselves a lot and it was righteous and despised others: 10 "Two men went to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. 11The Pharisee stood and was doing inside this prayer: 'O God, I thank you for not being like other men, who are thieves, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. 12Jejuo twice a week and paid tithes of all that I possess. " 13 tax collector, remaining distance, dared not even lift his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, 'O God, have mercy on me, a sinner. "14Digo you: This justified returned to his home, and the other does not. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted. "- Luke 18:9 -14

Many believe they are more blessed than others and therefore spend to disparage our brothers and sisters who still live in chains of sin. These brothers that frankly cry day after day by releasing all of us should receive support, respect, perseverance and motivation.

We must never forget that if today we are somehow better men and women that is not our merit, but only our God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit of God, through His infinite mercy and grace redeemed us from the enemy and drove us to the green fields where the Lord Jesus Christ is our sublime and wonderful pastor.

True humility is the humility that comes from the heart of man. The humility we are speaking is a virtue that the Holy Spirit of God sows in the hearts and souls of those who try, with sincerity and without desperation, to walk in straight paths and blessed the Lord.

It is this humility that we should seek to know. This is the behavior and attitude that we should seek earnestly, for it is that will make possible that our loving God will do eternal abode in our hearts. When a person has that true humility in your heart that already shows full recognition that it is itself absolutely nothing and that our wonderful God is everything. So the word of God teaches us:

Not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty boast in his might, not the rich man boast in his riches; 24 But to boast, boast in this: that he understands and knows Me, that I am the Lord, who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth, for in these I delight, saith the Lord. - Jeremiah 9:23-24

I desire mercy, not sacrifice. For I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. - Matthew 9:13

The real sacrifice that our Lord Jesus Christ expects from every one of us is the sincere gift of our hearts. He expects each of us to recognize their condition naturally limited because, as creatures we are completely dependent on our creator.

So likewise ye, when ye all that are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants, we have done what we should do. - Luke 17:10

Even when motivated and fueled by the Holy Trinity and we have accomplished something the Lord Jesus Christ that is by no means our credit but the Lord. As much as we do we are only useless servants. There is nothing we can do to earn something from God. For even without merit, even when we were in our sins He had freely given us His mercy and His wonderful grace of redemption. Our God would make it so that nobody felt proud to do this or that work.

Nothing belongs to us. Everything we have belongs to our God of love. Our virtues, our possessions, our intelligence, our wisdom, our research and our individual talents: it all comes solely from the hands of our God and all that should be used for others who might not yet know come to know him.

We must never use the gifts that God gave us to humble ourselves accusation or this or that. The Gifts that our God has loaned must be used to bring the love and his mercy to all people who want to truly know him. Regardless of their social status, their color and their way of life.

When we stand before the Holy Trinity with a sincere heart and true repentance, surely our Lord Jesus Christ forgives us. It was exactly what we said the word of God. The tax would not even look at the sky. He considered himself unworthy to be near the temple of the Lord was such that he had the consciousness of sins and miseries of his life. The conductor, who at the time was also compared to a thief, was pardoned and Pharisee that was a very correct and has not been full of qualities.

The first man, the conductor, was a great sinner. He not only recognized this but also recognize his total dependence on God to be a better person. The second man very correct and law-abiding, had a heart full of pride, as he thought all he had or did was it only on merit and not God. It is the worst, he thought he was perfect.

We should not forget that the ultimate perfection ever been in the middle of us and he taught us how great God's children should behave:
  

For which is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or one who serves? Is not he that sitteth at meat? But I am among you as one who serves. - Luke 22:27

Any of you who want to become great, this will be your servant; 27 and whoever among you wants to be first must be your servant; 28 Even as the Son of man came not to be served but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many. - Matthew 20:26-28

This is true humility: Is someone being infinitely great and powerful and make it as small and weak.

3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory, but in humility consider others better than himself; 4 Look not every man for what is only his, but every man also on the things of others. 5 Have this attitude in you that feeling that was also in Christ Jesus, 6 Who, being in very nature God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be robbery, 7 but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in human likeness; 8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself and became obedient unto death, even death on a cross. 9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him and gave him the name which is above every name; 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father

Philippians 2:3 to 11



Amen and Thank God.
