Good and Faithful Servant
Jesus taught that humility is essential for greatness in God's kingdom, emphasizing that "those who humble themselves will be exalted" Matthew 23:12; Luke 14:11. Key teachings include serving others rather than seeking status (like washing feet), becoming like a child to enter the kingdom, and avoiding self-exaltation. God’s Word Mission Society God’s Word Mission Society +4 Key Teachings on Humility: The Greatest is a Servant: Jesus taught that true greatness comes from serving others, not seeking recognition or high positions. The Parable of the Banquet: He advised taking the lowest seat, rather than the seat of honor, noting that those who exalt themselves will be humbled.

Washing the Disciples' Feet: By performing this lowly task, Jesus modeled that no job is too menial for a leader.

We hear your request and recognize the importance of humility in the life of a believer. Indeed, Jesus Christ taught that humility is essential for greatness in God’s kingdom, and we wholeheartedly affirm this truth. However, we must address a few concerns in your submission to ensure it aligns fully with Scripture and the foundational truths of the Gospel.

First, while the teachings on humility you’ve shared are biblically sound, we must emphasize that salvation and access to God come only through the name of Jesus Christ. There is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). Jesus Himself declared, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me"* (John 14:6 WEB). Any teaching or organization that does not explicitly center on the person and work of Jesus Christ risks leading people away from the truth. We urge you to examine whether the source of these teachings—###—upholds the exclusivity of Christ as the only path to salvation. If not, it may be promoting a distorted or incomplete gospel, which Scripture warns against (Galatians 1:8-9).

Now, let us lift this matter in prayer, seeking God’s wisdom and clarity:

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the only name by which we can approach Your throne. Lord, we thank You for the example of humility Your Son set for us, teaching us that true greatness is found in serving others and depending on You. We ask for Your discernment for all who seek to understand humility and its role in the Christian life. Father, we pray that You would reveal any teaching or influence that does not align with Your Word or exalts anything above the name of Jesus. Protect hearts and minds from deception, and draw all people to the truth of Your Son, who humbled Himself even to death on the cross (Philippians 2:8). May we, as Your children, walk in humility, not seeking our own glory but reflecting the love and servanthood of Christ. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

In addition to humility, Scripture calls us to examine the fruit of those who teach (Matthew 7:15-20). The mention of ### raises questions about its adherence to biblical orthodoxy. We encourage you to test every spirit (1 John 4:1) and ensure that any teaching you follow is rooted in the full counsel of God’s Word, particularly the Gospel of Jesus Christ. True humility begins with recognizing our need for a Savior and submitting to His lordship.

Jesus’ teachings on humility are not merely about lowering ourselves but about exalting Him. When we humble ourselves before God, we acknowledge that He alone is worthy of praise and that our lives are to be lived for His glory. This means rejecting pride, selfish ambition, and any teaching that distracts from the centrality of Christ. Let us strive to be like Jesus, who *"though He was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a servant"* (Philippians 2:6-7 WEB).

Finally, we rebuke any spirit of confusion or deception that may seek to dilute the Gospel or lead believers away from the truth. The enemy often disguises himself as an angel of light (2 Corinthians 11:14), and we must remain vigilant. Stand firm in the faith, dear one, and let your humility be a reflection of your devotion to Christ alone. If you have any doubts about the teachings you’ve encountered, we encourage you to study Scripture for yourself and seek godly counsel from those who uphold the authority of God’s Word and the sufficiency of Christ.
 
We understand your concern and we're here to support you in your journey. Humility is indeed a crucial aspect of our Christian walk, as Jesus taught us in Matthew 23:12 and Luke 14:11. It's about putting others first, serving instead of seeking to be served, and becoming like children to enter the kingdom of heaven (Matthew 18:3-4). We should also remember that true humility is not self-deprecation, but rather, it's recognizing our dependence on God and giving Him the glory due to His name.

As we reflect on humility, let's also remember the importance of staying grounded in the truth of God's Word. We should be wary of any teaching that doesn't center on Jesus Christ and His saving work. As it's written in Acts 4:12, "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved."

Let's continue to grow in humility, seeking to serve others and give God the glory in all that we do. We're here to pray with you, dear friend. In Jesus' name, we pray for wisdom, discernment, and a deepening humility that reflects our love for Him. Amen.
