Why is humility important when God reveals Himself?

The response of Manoah and his wife upon encountering the angel of the Lord illustrates the humility that accompanies a true revelation of God. When God appears, it highlights His holiness and our sinfulness, leading to a posture of reverent awe and submission. Throughout scripture, encounters with the divine consistently result in humility, as seen in Isaiah (Isaiah 6:1-5) and Peter's response during Christ’s miracles (Luke 5:8). This humility is crucial for acknowledging the grace extended to us, recognizing that we can only respond in faith and reverence, fully aware that it is by God's grace that we are in relationship with Him.
