Why does God humble Himself according to the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

God humbles Himself to interact with creation and demonstrate His grace and mercy.

Psalm 113 describes the incredible truth that God, who dwells on high, humbles Himself to behold the things in heaven and earth. This humbling is not a diminishing of His majesty but an expression of His mercy and grace towards His creation. It signifies that the God of the universe cares for the lowly and needy, lifting them from their low estate. The act of God humbling Himself is most profoundly displayed in the incarnation of Christ, who became human and ultimately suffered for sin. This teaches believers that humility is a core attribute of God, encouraging them to adopt a similar posture of servitude and grace in their own lives.
