Introduction
This lesson with will be the last in our monthly theme of “Humility”
Next week, August theme will be Self-Control
Read our lesson text in Context - immediate context
Background - Solomon dedicates the Temple of God.
Previous to this the children of Israel were worshipping in the Tabernacle
Exegesis - Critical explanation or analysis, especially of a text.
Eisegesis - An interpretation, especially of Scripture, that reflects the personal ideas or viewpoint of the interpreter; reading something into a text that isn't there.
What we can immediately understand is God will provide divine blessings based on obedience and divine punishment based on disobedience
if my people who are called by my name humble themselves
Those “called by my name” are Jews in this instance.
Practical application today - is Christian (Church of Christ)
Not talking about the world - already said that there will be few.
Not here to save the world.
We’re here to share the Gospel
The God of the Bible is a terror the world seeks to avoid.
Christian Humility
The Gospel - NOT GOSPEL LITE to accommodate the many
Biblical Worldview in all aspects of our life
personal, family
professional, work
Any divergence is simply sin based on pride and arrogance
Humility is not for the weak - As I’ve said before, you don’t find humility in vacuum.
You don’t happen upon it one day unawares.
Humility based on a Biblical worldview is a chosen state of mind and practice.
Prayer Without Humility
Seeking God Without Humility
Trying to make your self-interests God’s mandates
Seeking God without humility is seeking justification for what YOU want, think and desire.
I know the Bible says this BUT...
But what?
God want’s me to be happy.
He wants me to be authentic
Note that denying self must be a daily endeavor.
Turning Away From Your Wicked Ways Without Humility
Without humbly yourself to God’s word, there is no turning away from sin.
You will simple justify it.
This is like you finding a divine cosigner for your sin.
The kind of love God wants us to demonstrate to each other, enemies and even ourselves requires and acknowledgement that is Cannot and Will Not be done with our Christ.
