Synopsis

"The deepest humility is the secret of the truest happiness, of a joy that nothing can destroy. Andrew Murray

People of great ability, confidence, and power are also people of great accomplishment. They have every right to be proud. Or do they? Andrew Murray poses the question, and God provides the answer.

Murray was a strong, capable man who was so "in control" that he tried to stop a revival in his church in South Africa for which his father had prayed for 60 years. But he soon discovered that power isn't rooted in pride. In truth, he learned that "pride goes before destruction."

God taught Murray the ways and rewards of humility, and it's relationship to faith, holiness, happiness, peace, and exaltation. He shares the lessons he learned the hard way. Cleverly organized, easy to read, easy to understand, and deeply profound, this classic has been acclaimed as the greatest book ever written on the subject of humility.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

"Evil can have no beginning but from pride, and no end but from humility."

Christian humility is an often misunderstood and neglected topic. Yet understanding humility is key to spiritual growth. In this classic work by faith-great Andrew Murray, learn how humble dependence on God is the basis of all genuine blessing.

"When I look back on my own religious experience, or on the church of Christ in the world, I stand amazed at the thought of how seldom humility is sought after as the distinguishing feature of the discipleship of Jesus. In preaching and living, in the daily activities of the home and social life, in the more special fellowship with Christians, in the direction and performance of work for Christ—there is much proof that humility is not considered the cardinal virtue. It is not considered the only root from which the graces can grow, and the one indispensable condition of true fellowship with Jesus. The accusation that those who claim to be seeking the higher holiness have not always done so with increased humility is a call to all earnest Christians to prove that meakness and lowliness of heart are the chief marks by which they follow the meek and humble Lamb of God."

Présentation de l'éditeur

So in your thoughts, honestly now, you think you know more than all the congregation – or at least most all of the congregation. That you work for the Lord more or better than most.

But did you know that to the extent that you think that you are better than most. To that extent - in God’s eyes - you are actually worse than most. (Luke 18:9-14)

Pride is a stench in God’s nostrils. It is the attitude that first caused satan to think himself better than God, thereby rebelling against God and causing him to fall way down into Hell and soon forever into the eternal lake of fire.

It is essential that you declare a permanent war against pride. Because otherwise it will repeatedly cause your downfall. Also pride is very cunning and deceptive. It pervades your soul in subtle ways that you may not see. Earnestly ask God often to show you when you move in pride so that you can get God’s help to get rid of it.

Do a serious study in the Bible on pride and humility. You will find that many of your thoughts are infested with pride. Ask God to show you any trace of pride in you. He will, and as He does, get rid of that pride. Ask God to help you get rid of that pride. Your vision will be clearer and you will be much more sensitive to the needs of others. You will have more compassion for them instead of being judgmental.

Obadiah 1:3. The pride of your heart has deceived you, you who live in the clefts of the rocks and make your home on the heights, you who say to yourself, 'Who can bring me down to the ground?'
