What does the Bible say about our need for humility before Christ?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that true humility involves coming to Christ as contrite sinners to receive His grace.

In Genesis 42, Joseph's brothers had to bow down to him, a picture of how all must come humbly to Christ to receive life. The broken, contrite sinner who takes the lowest place at Christ's feet will receive all the abundance that He has to give. The scripture illustrates that those who seek Him must recognize their desperate need and acknowledge their sins, as pride only leads to self-righteousness. As emphasized in the sermon, we cannot approach God except through recognizing our unworthiness and that Christ alone is our bread of life.
