Why is humility important for maintaining unity in the Church?

Answered in 1 source

Humility is essential for maintaining unity in the Church because it allows believers to forbear with one another in love, combating selfishness and pride.

Humility plays a crucial role in maintaining unity in the Church as it counteracts the tendencies of pride and selfishness, which are the enemies of unity. Paul exhorts believers to walk in humility and gentleness, emphasizing that this attitude fosters a spirit of cooperation and love among members of the body of Christ. When believers practice humility, they bear one another's burdens, practice forgiveness, and work through conflicts in a way that honors Christ. In essence, humility leads to harmonious relations within the Church, aiding the preservation of the unity of the Spirit that the Holy Spirit creates and upholds.
