How does God humble the proud to bring them to salvation?

The process of humbling is integral to salvation, as highlighted in the sermon. God brings the proud and self-sufficient to a point where they recognize their spiritual bankruptcy. This humbling process may involve trials and tribulations that strip away their false confidences—whether they be riches, intellect, or moral superiority. Such experiences drive individuals to seek God’s mercy and grace. The ultimate goal of this humbling is to lead them to salvation through faith in Christ, bringing them to a place where they can cry out for His help and be exalted in due time.
