Humbleness is a quality that all Christians should have. Humbleness shows us the love we have for God and the willingness to learn what He teaches. In James 1:21, James writes “Lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness and receive with meekness the engrafted word which is able to save your souls.
Unsaved people when they receive Christ as their Savior should lay aside old habits and sin. This will truly show that they want a new life in Christ.
Christians should keep filthiness and sin out of their lives. Sin separates us from God.
When reading God’s Word we should all take the time to read and study God’s Word. We should take the time to “engraft” God’s Word in our heart. Just as a gardener engrafts a new branch on a tree. I should plant God’s Word in my heart and make it part of my life just as the branch comes part of the tree.
Meekness to me also means being humble. Having a meek and willing spirit to make God’s Word part of my life…seeing the changes that I may need to make in my life. I need to make sure I am humble when going to God’s Word – willing to learn whatever He wants me to—in order to that I need to make sure I lay apart the things that will hinder my relationship with God (like face book) =)
