The Bible presents humility as a beautiful, God-honoring heart attitude: a realistic recognition of our dependence on Him, a willingness to submit to His will, and a servant-like regard for others. It's not about being weak, timid, or self-loathing—it's about strength under control, lowliness before God, and selfless love. God actively opposes pride but pours out grace on the humble (Proverbs 3:34; James 4:6; 1 Peter 5:5).
Old Testament (Hebrew Terms)
The key words often translated as "humble," "meek," or "lowly" come from roots like ʿānāv (Strong's H6035) and related forms (ʿānî, ʿānâ).
• Primary meaning of ʿānāv: Humble, meek, lowly; often starting from external affliction or poverty (being "poor," "afflicted," or "needy"), but evolving into an inner character of gentleness, dependence on God, and quiet trust without self-exaltation.
• It's not mere passivity—it's focused obedience and submission to God, even amid challenges.
• Numbers 12:3 — "(Now the man Moses was very meek [ʿānāv] above all the men which were upon the face of the earth.)"
Moses is described as exceedingly humble/meek. This highlights his profound God-reliance: despite his power, leadership, and abilities, he didn't promote himself or respond in arrogance to criticism (from Miriam and Aaron). He was fully focused on God's task, bowing low before the Lord rather than lifting himself up. Many scholars note this "meekness" is strength restrained by reverence for God—not weakness.
Other OT usages (e.g., Psalms, Zephaniah) show God exalts, guides, and delights in the humble/afflicted who trust Him (Psalm 149:4; Zephaniah 2:3).

New Testament (Greek Terms) for HUMILITY➡️
The main family of words is from tapeinos (Strong's G5011 for "humble/lowly") and related forms like tapeinophrosune ("lowliness of mind/humility of mind") and the verb tapeinoō ("to humble oneself").
• Meaning of tapeinos: Lowly, humble; literally "low to the ground" or of low status/condition. In Greek culture, it often implied something base or insignificant, but Jesus and the apostles redeemed it as a positive virtue: voluntary lowliness, unpretentiousness, submission to God, and servanthood.
• It involves reducing self-importance, emptying oneself for others, and depending on God rather than self.
• James 4:6 — "God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble [tapeinos]."
This quotes Proverbs 3:34 directly, showing humility as the posture that receives God's abundant grace—contrasted with pride, which God actively opposes.
• Philippians 2:3 — "Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind [tapeinophrosune] let each esteem other better than themselves."
Paul urges selfless humility: value others higher, look to their interests. This is modeled perfectly in the following verses (Philippians 2:5-8): Jesus, though equal with God, emptied Himself (ekenōsen), took servant form, humbled Himself (etapeinōsen) to obedience and death on the cross. Jesus is the ultimate example—divine power voluntarily made low for our salvation.
• Romans 12:3 — Ties in by calling for sober self-assessment: don't think too highly of yourself, but think with sound judgment according to the measure of faith God gives.
Overall Biblical Meaning of Humility
• Core essence: A heart that bows low before God (Isaiah 57:15: God dwells with the humble and contrite), serves others (John 13: Jesus washing feet), and rejects self-exaltation.
• It's essential for closeness to God—He gives grace, lifts up, and exalts the humble in His timing (James 4:10; 1 Peter 5:6; Matthew 23:12).
• Jesus embodies it perfectly: "Take my yoke upon you...for I am gentle and lowly [tapeinos] in heart" (Matthew 11:29).
• Humility leads to wisdom, peace, unity, and blessing; pride brings opposition from God.
In short, biblical humility is not thinking less of yourself, but thinking of yourself less—it's God-focused, others-oriented lowliness that opens the floodgates of His grace.

‘How NAIVE are you
‘You create the environment and then complain about the consequences! When you kick over a beehive, don’t complain when the bees come after you!’
‘When you poke a bear, don’t say, “I can’t believe the bear’s chasing me!” You guys are DELIBERATELY creating chaos!’
‘And WHEN there is chaos, you go, “Oh my God, someone gets hurt!” These organizations DESIRE chaos!’
Gutfeld absolutely destroyed the leftist narrative, well done and spot on!
