"A Thing to Watch out For"
The following commentary is from the NASB-U, Life application study Bible. page 2104 Colossians 2:18
Self-abasement: People today practice false
humility, self-abasement, when they talk negatively about themselves so others
may think they are spiritual. Self-abasement is self-centered; true
humility is God-centered. The false teachers were proud of their humility.
This false humility brought attention and praise to themselves, rather than to
God. True humility means seeing ourselves as we really are from God's perspective
and acting accordingly.
