Humility's Role in our Glorification Series: Do we REALLY believe? As Christians we are sometimes reserved to contribute or stipulate God’s ability to do anything BECAUSE of or due to our actions. Yet, nevertheless here we have such a statement and claim.  God’s ability to freely exalt us is directly contingent upon our continued humility. Humility therefore becomes a very important thing for the Christian and it takes on different expressions based upon your position, your call, the authority God has delegated to you as well as your age and gender.
