An exhortation reminding us that a right attitude and humility precedes exaltation by God.
We are commanded in God's Word to clothe ourselves in humility toward one another and submit to His authority. God responds favorably and lovingly to humility.
We are warned that pride puts us in direct opposition to God. (1 Peter 5:5,6)
A right Christian attitude will inform and impact:
- what we think of God
- what we think of ourselves
- what we think of others
