Why is humility important in defending Christian doctrine?

Answered in 1 source

Humility prevents a contentious spirit and aligns our hearts with God's purposes.

Humility is crucial when defending Christian doctrine because it aligns our actions with the teachings of Christ, who models a demeanor of grace and gentleness. As 1 Peter 3:15 underscores, we are called to make a defense to anyone who asks, but this must be done with gentleness and respect. When we allow pride or a contentious spirit to seep into our debates, we risk losing the essence of our witness and the effectiveness of our testimony, thereby impeding our communion with God.
