Why Is It Easier For Men To Be Humble Before Their Fellow Men Than Before God?

I've noticed how easy it is for men to be humble before their fellow men, but when it comes to God, it's becomes something else.

The same people that would humble themselves before men and do whatever they ask of them, when it comes to God even those who claim to be children of God, hardly do what He asks of them. They would even easily do what men say even if it goes contrary to what God commands them.

Could it be, because what men ask them to do or say to them were usually things that they wanted to do or hear, and that of God was usually the otherwise?

I also realized that those who are humble before God were often seen as proud to men, and there are several instances that depicted this in the Bible.

*Moses was assumed proud by Aaron and Miriam hence their questioning if he was the only prophet among them who God speaks to, despite that he was the meekest man on Earth before God. Numbers 12:1-2

*David was seen as proud by his brother Eliab who spoke of his pride when he was about to confront Goliath, despite that he was a humble man in God's sight. 1 Sam 17:28.

*Job was also assumed to be a proud man by his three friends, who condemned him because he justified himself despite that he had been afflicted. This was the same person God proudly showcased to the devil as a perfect and upright man. Job 11:1-6

*Even Jesus was viewed as a proud person by the Pharisees, who consequently asked Him "whom makest thou thyself", because He spoke the Truth that anyone who keeps His saying shall never taste death. John 8:51-53

This was what they thought of the most humble person in the history of the world who was hence fittingly illustrated as "the lamb of God that taketh away the sins of the world." John 1:29

Ironically the same ones who saw these men as proud contrary to the humble men they were in the sight of God appeared to be proud in the sight of God even though they seemed highly esteemed of men.

*Miriam and Aaron were rebuked by God for daring to speak against His servant Moses. They were the same ones that made the golden calf for the children of Israel to worship in the absence of Moses.

*Eliab was rejected by God despite being accepted by Samuel.

*The three friends of Job were rebuked by God for daring to speak against His servant Job, though they appeared to have the backing of men as Elihu who did likewise.

*The Pharisees were an abomination in the sight of God despite being highly esteemed of men.

These instances prove that being humble before men doesn't mean in any way that one was humble before God, because the ways of men are different from the ways of God. So it's not up to men to determine who's humble or proud in God sight, as someone humble in God's sight can be proud in man's sight and vice versa.

It's very important regardless of how humble we are in the sight of men, that we're also humble in God's sight, because it's only such ones that would be able to enter into the Kingdom of God.

Jesus said:

"Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven." Matthew 18:3-4

God bless.

THERE'S A MOVIE ON JESUS' STORY AS WELL. BUT IN REALITY, BATMAN AND JESUS ARE EQUAL. JUST FOR ENTERTAINMENT TO THOSE WHO CARE, NOTHING ELSE.

Ah esp Loki with the nice hair

Father have mercy on them for they don't know what they're saying. Amen!

Pay no attention to those two. I think its cos we pay more attention to the flesh than to the spirit man. You don't want to loss your job, you don't want to be queried and all that.

God is anything superior to you or beyond your reasoning capacity. It's ok to be humble knowing you know nothing/you're nothing. That's the first step to acquiring knowledge and power.

Bible asked us to be kind to our neighbors whom we see before our God we do not see w

jesusjnr, you have come again. You mean you don't know that The Satan that is physically sitting or standing menancingly before you is more Bokoharamish than ALLAH?

Did the Pharisees give to God what was God's?

That's the point.

Okay, thanks.

Is it because God is not here in Person?

One day God will show you himself, then you'll see his omnipotence in its purest form.

Not you, I meant those doubting the existence of God.

Humbling B4 Men Is Tantamount To Humbling B4 God. U Can't Be Humble B4 God Without Being Humble B4 Men, It's Impossible.

How do you know they're not humble before God? Just asking.

Because from my observation, religion, especially Christianity trains men to be humble before men rather than God.

Why: They follow commandments of men rather that YAH'S commandments.

Are you saying it's possible to be humble before God without keeping His commandments?

The Pharisees were humble and justified before men, and one of the reasons for that was because they laid aside the commandments of God in order to keep their traditions. Matthew 7:8

So according to your submission, that means they were humble before God?

Oh.. Okay.

I really hope so because it wouldn't be easy for them if they don't before their end.

Thanks and God bless.

Their Humilty Was Not A Genuie One. Yes. Read Matt6:1 Downward. D Desire 4 Titles Could Be D Reason 4 Dat. Dey Are All Hipocrites.

Not genuine to God or to men?

Is it possible to keep the traditions or commandments of men instead of that of God and not be genuinely humble to men?
