How does Mary demonstrate the importance of humility?

Answered in 1 source

Mary exemplifies humility by recognizing her lowly state and attributing her blessings entirely to God's grace.

In her song, Mary declares in Luke 1:48, "For he hath regarded the lowest state of his handmaiden." This acknowledgment of her humble position reveals a profound understanding of grace; she did not see herself as deserving or meritorious in any way. Her humility is a crucial lesson for Christians, as it emphasizes that God exalts the humble, showing that true greatness in the Kingdom comes through recognizing our need for His grace and mercy. It challenges believers to avoid the pride that says, 'I can do it myself' and instead turn to God as our sole source of strength and salvation.
