What does voluntary humility mean in a Christian context?

Answered in 1 source

Voluntary humility refers to a false sense of humility where individuals rely on self-imposed rules instead of Christ.

In the context of Colossians 2:18, voluntary humility is described as a self-imposed attempt at humility that distracts believers from true dependence on Christ. This form of humility may appear righteous but is rooted in human efforts and judgment, seeking to establish worth through personal achievements or adherence to man-made rules. Authentic humility, on the other hand, acknowledges our total dependence on the grace of God in Christ, which calls for believers to reject any performance-based approach to righteousness.
