Charles H. Spurgeon:
Observe that we are told to walk humbly with God. It is of no use walking humbly away from God. I have seen some people very proudly humble, very boastful of their humility. They have been so humble that they were proud enough to doubt God! They could not accept the mercy of Christ, they said. They were so humble. In truth, theirs was a devilish humility, not the humility that comes from the Spirit of God.” (1893, Sermon #2328)

That message is very thought provoking. To not accept the mercy of Christ is to deny Him and the sacrifice that He has made for us. May we all stay clear of this false humility by God’s grace.
