What does it mean to have a low view of God?

Answered in 1 source

Having a low view of God means underestimating His holiness and attempting to approach Him based on our own abilities or works.

A low view of God is illustrated by the baker, who approached Pharaoh with baked goods, believing that his own works could gain him favor. This reflects a fundamental misunderstanding of God's holiness and righteousness. When men attempt to earn God's acceptance through their efforts, they expose their ignorance of who God truly is. Understanding that God is purely just and cannot accept works that are 'full of holes' is crucial for recognizing the necessity of relying on Christ alone for justification.
