Summary
Zac Poonen teaches that true spiritual maturity requires brokenness and humility before God. Drawing from the Book of Job, he illustrates how God values a person who recognizes their own nothingness and surrenders their self-justification, rather than someone who relies on their own righteousness or good works. The mark of genuine faith is not external virtue but a broken spirit that daily acknowledges dependence on God and refuses to defend oneself.

Zac Poonen - Be Like a Baby in Humility
Zac Poonen · Jun 24, 2024
Jesus taught that true greatness in God's kingdom comes through becoming like a child—humble, uncompetitive, and dependent on God. Drawing from Matthew 18 and reflecting on the characteristics of babies, Zac Poonen exhorts believers to abandon pride and comparison, embrace helplessness, forgive easily, and continually cry out to God for grace just as a baby cries for milk. This pursuit of childlike humility is a lifelong marathon toward becoming free from pride, shame, and self-reliance.
