Why is recognizing our unworthiness important for Christians?
Answered in 2 sources
Recognizing our unworthiness is essential as it cultivates humility and reliance on Christ alone for salvation.
Christ's parable in Luke shows that those who feel self-righteous are the least likely to accept His invitation. When we understand our unworthiness, we grasp the depth of God's grace and the significance of Christ's sacrifice. This humility allows us to approach God with the understanding that all we have is from Him, fostering a reliance on His righteousness rather than our own. It changes our perspective on faith, obedience, and assurance, pointing us to glorify Christ instead of our achievements or merits.
