6 Reasons Why Humility Is Necessary in the Lord’s Work

Make no mistake about it, there is no greater joy than working in the Lord’s service. Nor is there a calling in which we will receive more criticism, resistance and opposition–even more so than being an appointee to the United States Supreme Court!

Romans chapter 12 begins with the Apostle Paul urging believers to present ourselves as living sacrifices acceptable to God.

2. To set aside the world system’s potential path to success requires humility.
