Is pride a necessary tool to achieve significance? Is humility a form of self-hatred? In contrast to the world, the Bible consistently presents humility as the supreme virtue, while pride is the underlying depravity behind specific sins. Pride and humility are at war . . . and humility, not pride, has the advantage. Humility s surprising essence is God-centeredness living for the glory of God rather than self. On the basis of this biblical principle, Christ s example, and the contemporary need, J. Lanier Burns argues for an unfamiliar connection between true significance and a humble dependence on the Lord.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Humans are neither passive pawns nor morally neutral players--we were made to rule. Through history, we have viewed pride as a necessary tool to achieve the renown, power, or significance that we crave. Meanwhile, humility is misunderstood to be a kind of self-hatred--a weakness that leads to disappointment. Lanier Burns shows that the Bible consistently presents humility as the supreme virtue, while pride is the underlying depravity behind specific sins. Humility's surprising essence is God-centeredness, living for the glory of God rather than self. On the basis of biblical principle, Christ's example, and contemporary need, Pride and Humility at War argues for an unfamiliar connection between true significance and a humble dependence on the Lord, leading to great and lasting reward. A Biblical Perspective. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781596381766
