“And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.”
Ephesians 4:24 KJV
True humility comes when we understand the magnitude of what the Lord Jesus did on the Cross by forgiving our sins and wrought righteousness in us so we are restored into the image & likeness of God Himself. As we put on the new man which is created in righteousness and true holiness, we walk in the newness of life by being buried into Christ’s death and raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father. Now we call ourselves righteous not in self righteousness but in Christ’s righteousness. If we’ve been forgiven much we will love much and have no problem in calling ourselves righteous with the righteousness of the Lord Jesus. But if we have been forgiven little we will love little and walk in self righteousness. True humility is when we call ourselves righteous in Christ. For he has made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
