Noble—having or showing fine personal qualities, or high moral principles and ideals, having dignity or eminence.
Sounds wonderful. But do we give ourselves enough time and practice to become noble?
As with anything, you are not necessarily born noble, or to think nobly, or to act nobly in all situations.
We must go through what we have been learning about—a transformation, by renewing our mind.
If we look at most people’s mindset, it would be to enhance their lives anyway possible; even to the detriment of the people around them.
But this word implies that those who are noble are looked at by other people as having a certain character not common to all people. One that is circumspect in its judgments and convictions, and does not leave it to written laws and codes. But rather relies on the inner man having been taught by the Holy Spirit.
Noble does not mean haughty or have anything to do with social standing. But rather a standing achieved by walking with God, and having an understanding about who your neighbor is and what our responsibility is to them.
