"Blessed are the meek; for they shall inherit the earth." Matthew 5:5, KJV
Why is it so important to be "meek?" 1. It's necessary to receive God's salvation. Psalm 149:4, KJV says, "For the Lord...will beautify the meek with salvation." 2. It's commanded. Zephaniah 2:3, KJV says "Seek ye the Lord, all you meek on the earth..." 3. It's necessary to receive God's Word.
James 1:21, KJV says, "...receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls." 4. It's necessary to be an effective witness. 1 Peter 3:15, KJV says, "...be ready always to give an answer to every man (who ask you for) a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear." 5. It's simply because it's necessary. 1 Peter 3:4, KJV says, "...a meek and quiet spirit...is in the sight of God a great price."
Jesus Christ is the greatest example of what it means to be "meek." "When they hurled their insults at him, he did not retaliate, when he suffered, he made no threats. Instead, he entrusted himself to him who judges justly" 1 Peter 2:23, NIV. Jesus says, "Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls" Matthew 11:29, NIV. The "meek" enter the kingdom of God and someday they will inherit the earth.

"Bienaventurados los mansos, porque ellos recibirán la tierra por heredad." Mateo 5:5, KJV
¿Por qué es tan importante ser "manso?" 1. Es necesario recibir la salvación de Dios. Dice Salmos 149:4, KJV "Porque Jehová...Hermoseará a los humildes con la salvación". 2. Está mandado. Dice Sofonías 2:3, KJV "Buscad a Jehová todos los humildes de la tierra...". 3. Es necesario recibir la Palabra de Dios. Dice Santiago 1:21, KJV "...recibid con mansedumbre la palabra implantada, la cual puede salvar vuestras almas". 4. Es necesario ser un testigo eficaz. Dice 1 Pedro 3:15, KJV "...estad siempre preparados para presentar defensa con mansedumbre y reverencia ante todo el que os demande razón de la esperanza que hay en vosotros". 5. Es simplemente porque es necesario. Dice
1 Pedro 3:4, KJV "...un espíritu afable y apacible, que es de grande estima delante de Dios".
Jesucristo es el ejemplo más grande de lo que significa ser "manso". Dice 1 Pedro 2:23, NVI "Cuando proferían insultos contra él, no replicaba con insultos; cuando padecía, no amenazaba, sino que se entregaba a aquel que juzga con justicia". En Mateo 11:29, NVI dice Jesús "Carguen con mi yugo y aprendan de mí, pues yo soy apacible y humilde de corazón, y encontrarán descanso para su alma".
Los "mansos" entran en el reino de Dios y algún día heredarán la tierra.
