How does grace relate to humility in the Christian faith?

Answered in 1 source

Grace is bestowed by God to those who recognize their need for Him and approach Him humbly.

In Christian theology, grace is fundamentally linked with humility; without humility, grace is not properly received. The narrative of scripture continuously underlines that those who approach God with self-assuredness or pride are met with resistance. In contrast, those who humbly confess their need for divine help encounter a wellspring of grace. This dynamic illustrates the core of the gospel, where sinners are invited to embrace the grace found in Christ, acknowledging their inability to save themselves. The believer’s role is to fully rely on God's grace while walking in humility, recognizing that strength comes from faith in Christ rather than self-sufficiency.
