Coming to God in humility allows believers to acknowledge their unworthiness and receive His grace, as exemplified by the woman's humble approach to Jesus.
Humility before God is crucial because it reflects an accurate understanding of our condition as sinners in need of His grace. The woman in Luke 8 approached Jesus trembling and fell before Him in recognition of her desperation. This act of humility is a powerful reminder that we come to God not based on our worthiness but purely on His mercy. Ephesians 2:8-9 reminds us that we are saved by grace through faith, and this grace is a gift from God, not of works. Therefore, when we acknowledge our unworthiness, we position ourselves rightly to receive His grace and blessings. Our testimonies of God's work in our lives often stem from humble encounters where we recognize His sovereignty and mercy in our helplessness.
