Why is humility connected to thankfulness in Christianity?

Answered in 1 source

Humility and thankfulness are intertwined; recognizing our unworthiness cultivates a heart of gratitude.

Humility is intrinsically linked to thankfulness because a humble heart acknowledges that all good things come from God. When we understand our unworthiness and the grace we have received, we naturally feel thankful. The Pharisee in Luke 18 exemplifies pride when he boasts about his righteousness, while the publican demonstrates humility through his plea for mercy. Humble recognition of our need for God’s grace allows us to genuinely express thankfulness. This connection reminds believers that their salvation and all blessings are gifts from a sovereign God, fostering a heart that overflows with gratitude.
