Week 25 · Season 4 · Step 7: Humble Petition
Shoes of Biblical Humility
Christ as Our Model
Shoes of the Gospel of Peace · Philippians 2:3-8
“Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves… Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus…”
Philippians 2:3-8 · ESV
Big idea
Understanding humility vs. false humility; Christ as the model of humility.
Biblical humility is not self-hatred. It is the mind of Christ (Philippians 2:3–8). He did not grasp equality with God but emptied Himself, taking the form of a servant. Matthew 11:29 is His invitation: learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart. Pride is the root sin of recovery relapse — the quiet conviction that we still know better.
