Humility

God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble. The bible speaks of a false humility, a false religion, a false gospel, and a false Christ.

There is a real humility that the Lord delights in and then there is a false humility that God hates. The false humility is will worship (Colossians 2) which says touch not, taste not, and handle not. Dos and don'ts. "I don't drink, I don't party", I don't do all manner of outward wickedness basically. "I do all these works of my hands, look at all my good works." They do their good works to be seen of men, before men, and in this they have their reward. All men speak well of them for their "humility" but God says woe to whom all men speak well of(Luke 6:26).

There is false religion. They seem to be religious, but bridleth not their tongue, deceiving their own hearts. This religion is vain(James 3).

There is a false gospel. There is another spirit, another Jesus, whom we have not preached, Paul warns(1 Corinthians 11:4). This is not speaking of the modern church or your pastor has not preached, but that Paul has not preached. The bible has not preached. What Gospel does the bible preach? Any other, including the traditions of men, is not the true Gospel. Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they be of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world(1 John 4:1).

Be not deceived, many will come in His name. "Many" the most, will be deceived. The masses will be deceived(Matthew 24:4,5). The road that is broad, wide, leads to destruction, most will go out on that one. But The Way is narrow, the Gate is strait(Matthew 7). Dont go after the most. Don't run with the same excess of riot as they. They think it strange if someone is not running in this way (1Peter4:4). Of course it is "strange", it is not the majority, the way of the most, it's not the broad road. Many will say to Him on that day, Lord, Lord, and He will say depart from me, ye worker of iniquity, I never knew you. Most will say this(Matthew 7).

Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the traditions of men, after the rudiments of this world, and not after Christ (Colossians 2:8). Wherefore come out from among them and be ye separate, saith the LORD, and touch not the unclean thing and I will receive you (2 Corinthians 6:17). Through desire a man, having seaparted himself, seeketh and intermeddleth with all wisdom (Proverbs 18:1). Here in is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as He is, so are we in this world (1 John 4:17). How did HE walk in this world? The world hated Him. So therefore, The world cannot hate you: but Me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil (John 7:7). Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you (1 John 3:13). The world will hate you, therefore you cannot love the world, Love not the world, neither this things that are in the world, if any man love the world the love of the Father is not in him (1 John 2:15). Woe to you when all men speak well of you. He says the world will hate you if you are following Him. This is true humility, following Him which results in the world hating you.
