What is the value of humility? That is a tough question to answer without first establishing what humility is.
Humility is an aspect in our lives as Christians that plays a significant role (Acts 20:19); it sets us apart from the average human being. Being a Christian is accepting the gift of God and knowing nothing we could possibly do will get us into heaven. We have to place our lives at the feet of God and submit to Him. As Christians, we also need to live in humility. We can do that by routinely confessing our sin to God, acknowledge our sin to others, take wrong patiently, actively submit to authority, receive correction and feedback from others graciously, choose to serve others, be quick to forgive and make it a point to speak well of others.

We would all be looking out for each other; making sure that everyone was okay. All the people would be one great team, pulling together to make it. I would not be important, you would be. Your needs would be my needs. The world would be a better place. (Philippians 2:3)
Patience is a virtue, we have all been told. It is a fruit of the spirit, Galatians 5:22. Well, patience is also part of being humble. When acts are committed against us that are wrong; being patient makes us more humble than taking vengeance or speaking out against them. It shows that we can take the wrongs of others and give them to God to deal with. Colossians 3:12-13 is a great verse. It tells us that since we have been “chosen by God” we are to have a “heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience,” because bearing with one another and forgiving each ot
