Is God Humble? // Ask Pastor John

A video published by Desiring God on April 17th, 2020

As we seek to put away pride and become more humble, is there any humility in God for us to imitate? Or is humility fitting only for creatures? Is God humble? It seems like such a simple question. It’s not. It’s actually a great question — exactly the kind of question we have come to expect from our perceptive listeners, this time from a listener named Tanner. “Hello, Tony and Pastor John! I was recently thinking about how the pursuit of good character is the pursuit to better imitate the inherent goodness of God. But I hit a mental hurdle when I applied this framework to humility. Throughout your ministry, you have defined our humility as knowledge of our own fallibility. This cannot work for God. So, perhaps God cannot be humble because he’s infallible. Is God humble? Can we imitate him here? Or is humility reserved for creatures?” Read or listen to this interview at our website: https://www.desiringgod.org/interviews/is-god-humble Find other recent and popular Ask Pastor John episodes: https://www.desiringgod.org/ask-pastor-john
