Re:Verse passage – 2 Peter 2:10-16 (day 6)
The false teachers Peter describes were proud and arrogant, despising authority. Pride always begins with the same lie whispered in Eden: You don’t need God. You can decide what’s good on your own. But humility is the joyful posture of remembering that life, meaning, and goodness begin outside of us, in God Himself.
Life in the Spirit begins here. The humble heart knows that every breath, every insight, and every step of wisdom is a gift. It’s not self-deprecation; it’s dependence. It’s Adam and Eve before the fall—walking with God in trust. The proud say, “I’ve got this.” The humble say, “I need You.”
When we live in humility, we make space for the Spirit to lead, teach, and bear fruit in us. That’s where true freedom begins.
