The essence of humility was expressed by the final Old Testament prophet, John the Baptist.
This greatest of the prophetic mouthpieces for God reduced the humility God desires down to just seven words in John 3:30.
John 3:30 (NKJV) He must increase, but I must decrease.
The heart attitude that leads to humility is summed up by John’s testimony:
“Christ must increase and I must decrease”.
That is the essence of humility. Seven words that encapsulate what practicing Biblical Humility is all about. He must increase, but I must decrease.
