What does it mean to be meek in the context of salvation?

Answered in 1 source

To be meek means to recognize one's spiritual poverty and need for salvation through Christ.

In the biblical context, meekness reflects a humble acknowledgment of our spiritual condition. Those who are meek are often described as brokenhearted and poor in spirit, fully aware of their inability to achieve righteousness on their own. This acknowledgment of need opens the heart to receive the good news of salvation that Christ offers freely. When Christ preached good tidings to the meek, He was addressing those who understand their own unworthiness and desperation for a Savior. This condition is fundamental for entering into the blessings of the gospel and receiving the comfort and grace that comes through faith in Christ alone.
