How do we know salvation is for the humble and needy?

Answered in 1 source

Salvation is explicitly for the humble and needy, as seen in Luke 14 where Jesus teaches that only those who acknowledge their unworthiness will be invited to His great supper.

Throughout scripture, God demonstrates a consistent pattern of extending grace to the humble and downtrodden. In Luke 14, Jesus emphasizes that the conditions for attending the great supper are rooted in recognizing one's spiritual bankruptcy. As the preacher illustrates, true humility comes from understanding that 'there is none righteous, no, not one.' The invitation is given to those who know they are sick and in need of a physician, echoing the principle found in Matthew 5:3: 'Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.' Therefore, salvation is not for the proud but for those who seek refuge in Christ, recognizing Him as the only source of righteousness.
