Why is humility emphasized in Christian service?

Answered in 1 source

Humility is emphasized in Christian service to ensure that all glory and power belong to God alone, not to the servants.

Humility in Christian service is crucial because it recognizes that all spiritual efficacy comes from God. As stated in the sermon, the Apostle Paul emphasized that he preached Christ, not himself, and that the power behind the ministry is God's alone (2 Corinthians 4:7). This perspective helps prevent pride and self-exaltation, drawing attention instead to the glorious work of God in the hearts of believers. When we embrace humility, we acknowledge our dependence on God and His sovereign grace, understanding that the glory of any success or transformation belongs to Him, not to us.
