How does God's mercy relate to pride in grace?

Answered in 1 source

God’s mercy dispels pride; anyone truly saved understands they are recipients of grace they did not earn.

The concept of 'pride of grace' highlights the danger of boasting in our salvation as if it were a result of our merit. In Romans 11, Paul warns that a proud attitude towards others can expose a fundamental misunderstanding of grace. When someone recognizes that their salvation is solely due to God’s mercy and not their own efforts, they are compelled to extend that grace to others. This humility before God and others is essential in the Christian life, as it acknowledges that every believer has been grafted into the family of God solely by divine grace, and not by any inherent worth or achievement.
