When Jesus arrived at Peter's house, Peter's mother-in-law was sick in
bed with a high fever. But when Jesus touched her hand, the fever left
her. Then she got up and prepared a meal for him.
This fulfilled the word of the Lord through the prophet Isaiah, who said,
"He took our sicknesses
and removed our diseases." (Matthew 8:14, 15, 17 NLT)

"And the Lord passed before him and proclaimed, The Lord, the Lord God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abounding in goodness and truth, keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children and the childrens children to the third and the fourth generation."

Why do we need to be walking in humility?
God resist the proud
In the same way, you younger men must accept the authority of the
elders. And all of you, serve each other in humility, for
"God opposes the proud
but favors the humble." So humble yourselves under the mighty power of
God, and at the right time he will lift you up in honor. (1 Peter 5:5,
6 NLT)
What is the result of pride?
Destruction
Pride goes before destruction,
and haughtiness before a fall. (Proverbs 16:18 NLT)
What does God hate?
There are six things the LORD hates—
no, seven things he detests: haughty eyes,
a lying tongue,
hands that kill the innocent, a heart that plots evil,
feet that race to do wrong, a false witness who pours out lies,
a person who sows discord in a family. (Proverbs 6:16-19 NLT)
Jesus is the perfect example of humility.
You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had.
Though he was God,
he did not think of equality with God
as something to cling to. Instead, he gave up his divine privileges;
he took the humble position of a slave
and was born as a human being.
When he appeared in human form, he humbled himself in obedience to God
and died a criminal's death on a cross. Therefore, God elevated him to
the place of highest honor
and gave him the name above all other names, that at the name of Jesus
every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess
that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father. (Philippians 2:5-11 NLT)
Humility before God first.
My place before God
Do not be rash with your mouth, And let not your heart utter anything
hastily before God. For God is in heaven, and you on earth;
Therefore let your words be few. (Ecclesiastes 5:2 NKJV)
What is the result of humility?
Obedience
And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became
obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.
(Philippians 2:8 NKJV)
First sin in heaven?
Pride
How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How
you are cut down to the ground, You who weakened the nations! For you
have said in your heart: I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my
throne above the stars of God; I will also sit on the mount of the
congregation On the farthest sides of the north; I will ascend above
the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High. Yet you shall
be brought down to Sheol, To the lowest depths of the Pit. (Isaiah
14:12-15 NKJV)
Lucifer was beautiful
Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying, Son of man, take up
a lamentation for the king of Tyre, and say to him, Thus says the Lord
God: You were the seal of perfection, Full of wisdom and perfect in
beauty. You were in Eden, the garden of God; Every precious stone was
your covering: The sardius, topaz, and diamond, Beryl, onyx, and
jasper, Sapphire, turquoise, and emerald with gold. The workmanship of
your timbrels and pipes Was prepared for you on the day you were
created. You were the anointed cherub who covers; I established you;
You were on the holy mountain of God; You walked back and forth in the
midst of fiery stones. You were perfect in your ways from the day
you were created, Till iniquity was found in you. (Ezekiel 28:11-15
NKJV)
Who then tempted Eve to be like God. The root of all sin is pride.
Pride comes before destruction.
Then the serpent said to the woman, You will not surely die. For God
knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you
will be like God, knowing good and evil. (Genesis 3:4, 5 NKJV)

world. (Galatians 6:14 NKJV)

Radical obedience to Christ risks losing all these things. But in the
end, such risk finds its reward in Christ. And he is more than enough
for us.
