Why is humility important for church leaders according to the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

Humility is crucial for church leaders as it allows them to serve selflessly and prioritize the needs of their congregation over personal ambition.

In the context of 3 John, humility is highlighted as an essential characteristic of God's pastors and elders. Leaders are called to be servants, and they must not elevate themselves above others. Instead, true leadership in the church mirrors the humility of Christ, who came to serve rather than to be served. When pastors exemplify humility, they foster an atmosphere of grace and truth within the church, encouraging members to follow in their footsteps and seek the glory of God over personal recognition.
