Answered in 2 sources
The Bible warns against pride and arrogance, emphasizing the importance of humility and the recognition of God's grace.
Scripture teaches that pride and arrogance are detrimental to our spiritual lives, leading to a fall (Proverbs 16:18). Instead, we are called to humility, reflecting on our dependence on God's grace. The example of Mary anointing Jesus shows how acts of love for Christ can fill the atmosphere around us with a sweet fragrance, counteracting any prideful attitudes. A true understanding of our sinful nature and God's mercy should lead us away from arrogance and toward a heart of gratitude and service.
