How do we know that God values humility?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible consistently shows that God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble (James 4:6).

God’s value for humility is seen throughout Scripture, where pride is addressed as a major hindrance to receiving His grace. For instance, in James 4:6, it states, 'But He gives more grace. Therefore it says, 'God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.' This dichotomy reveals how God operates against arrogance while simultaneously lifting those who acknowledge their dependence on Him. Humility aligns with God's nature, as seen in the incarnation of Christ, who humbled Himself to serve sinners, embodying the ultimate example of lowliness.
