The Bible teaches that Christ humbled himself in obedience to save His people, descending from the highest heaven to the lowest hell.
The scriptures affirm that Christ’s humility is foundational to our salvation. Philippians 2:5-8 explains that although He was in the form of God, He made Himself of no reputation, took on the form of a servant, and humbled Himself unto death, even the death of the cross. This ultimate act of condescension reflects His immense love and obedience to the Father, as He willingly assumed our nature and ultimately bore the punishment for our sin. In His descent, He not only met the requirements of the law but also provided redemption for His people, demonstrating that His humility was essential for our salvation.
