CLOTHE YOURSELVES WITH HUMILITY / 1 PETER 5:5

(KJV) 1 Peter 5:5

ikewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.

Humility must be the mark and distinguishing characteristic of all God’s people. It means an absence of selfish pride, a consciousness of one’s weaknesses and the earnest ability to give God and others the credit for what is achieved or accomplished (Matthew 11:29; Philippians 2:3; Philippians 2:5; Colossians 3:12). The word “clothe” (Greek egkomboomai) means to attach a piece of clothing to oneself. In New Testament times, slaves fastened a white piece of cloth or apron over their clothing so that others would know that they were slaves. Peter challenges us to tie the cloth of humility onto ourselves in order 

1. To be identified as believers and servants of Christ.
2. To humbly receive God’s grace and help (1 Peter 5:5-7). Peter may have had in mind Jesus’ action of tying on a towel and washing the disciples’ feet (John 13:1-5).
