Summary
The speaker emphasizes that humility is a crucial choice, second only to choosing Christ, and it is what unlocks God's blessings and the Kingdom of Heaven. Humility is defined not by actions or words, but by the mindset of recognizing that all possessions, talents, and achievements are gifts from God. By humbly placing Jesus first and recognizing the ultimate worthlessness of worldly accolades, one gains true eternal value and grace.

The letter H for humilityAfter choosing Christ, the next step in making healthy choices is humility, which the world does not value but without it God's blessing is missing.
Jesus taught humility firstJesus taught that the humble possess the kingdom of heaven, which functions like a treasure house unlocked by the master key of humility.Matthew 5:3
What true humility meansHumility is a matter of the mind rather than low self-esteem, recognizing that every gift and ability comes from God so we never look down on others.Philippians 2:3
Learning humility from JesusJesus demonstrated ultimate humility by leaving heaven to live and die as a criminal for us, providing an example far greater than a human becoming an outcast animal.Matthew 11:29
Grace as the money of heavenGod gives grace, which acts like the currency of heaven to accomplish anything in His kingdom, exclusively to those who are humble.1 Peter 5:5
Worldly values equal zeroWealth, beauty, fame, and academic success are ultimately worth zero, and thinking you are something when they are just zeros is self-deception.
Giving Jesus first placeWhen you humbly realize earthly things are worth nothing and give Jesus first place, He gives all other aspects of your life real eternal value.
Thinking of the needs of othersPractical humility involves thinking of others instead of yourself, mirroring Jesus by befriending outcasts, lepers, and those nobody else wanted.
Making the choice todayYou can choose to follow Christ and choose humility today without waiting for tomorrow, and you will never regret it in eternity.
