By: Steve Shirley. A: The usual definition of meekness in the Bible is strength under control.. The world defines strong people as those who are assertive, take charge, proud, self-sufficient, self-reliant, and independent. A meek person is the opposite of these things, therefore, many people associate meekness with weakness.
One of the definitions in Webster's Dictionary for meek is enduring injury with patience and without resentment.. Certainly each of these men qualifies for that distinction. We are told in the Bible to be meek (Eph 4:2)(Col 3:12)(1 Tim 6:11)(2 Tim 2:25)(Titus 3:2). Meekness is a trait of the fruit of the Spirit (Q: #222.) that marks a Christian (Gal 5:23).
