How do we know God values humility?

Answered in 1 source

God values humility as He promises that those who humble themselves will be exalted, as seen in Luke 18:14.

Throughout Scripture, God emphasizes the importance of humility, particularly in the way He interacts with His people. In the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector (Luke 18:9-14), Jesus explicitly states that 'everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted.' This principle underscores the idea that God delights in those who approach Him with a humble heart, acknowledging their need for His mercy rather than relying on their own perceived righteousness. This is consistent with biblical examples, where humility is presented as a fundamental grace required of all believers, leading to exaltation in God's timing.
