Why is humility important for Christians in disputes?
Answered in 1 source
Humility is crucial for Christians in disputes as it fosters a spirit of love and truth, aligning with the teachings of Christ.
Humility plays a vital role in the life of a Christian, especially during disputes, because it reflects the character of Christ and the call to love others. Philippians 2:3 encourages believers to do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit but in humility consider others better than themselves. This posture prevents pride from leading to contempt for those we disagree with. As John Newton outlines, maintaining a humble spirit will not only keep us from harshness but also empower our witness as we engage in discussions that center around the truth of God’s word.
