Meekness is the power to live for God and give the Lord Jesus Christ glory in a fallen cursed world. 1st Thessalonians 1:6 tells us that the Thessalonian believers received the word in much affliction. Meekness is needed to receive God's word to testify of the power of God. There can be no salvation without meekness. Our pride, arrogance and ego will not permit us to humble ourselves to receive God's word |
