Significance In the Sight of God Requires You to be Truly Humble
“To reduce arrogance and self-dependence” which leads to being prideful, you must aim for submitting your life to Christ Jesus. He will build you up in an atmosphere of humility within your heart and mind by serving the Lord – being a servant of His will. You must have “a modest estimate of (your) own worth” which is an amendment or change for the better of your very life (quotes from Noah Webster 1828 Dictionary).
Humble yourselves [feeling very insignificent] in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you [He will lift you up and make your lives significent]. James 4:10 AMPC (Amplified Bible, Classic Edition)
