Why is humility important in light of God’s grace?

Humility in the light of God’s grace is vital for believers. As highlighted in the sermon, grace abases us and drives away pride. The Apostle Paul reveals that he was given a thorn in the flesh 'lest he should be exalted above measure' (2 Corinthians 12:7), indicating that God uses our weaknesses to keep us humble. When we acknowledge our need for God's grace and resist the temptation to glorify ourselves, we position ourselves to receive His strength and empowerment. Pride can lead to spiritual downfall, as it redirects glory from God to ourselves, ultimately hindering the transformative power of grace in our lives.
