Why is humility necessary for salvation?

Answered in 2 sources

Humility is necessary for salvation because it prompts individuals to turn away from pride and recognize their need for God's grace.

The necessity of humility is distinctly articulated in Matthew 18:3, where Jesus emphasizes, 'Except ye be converted and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.' This conversion requires a departure from pride and self-reliance, leading individuals to fully trust in Christ for salvation. Humility allows believers to acknowledge their shortcomings and the depths of God's mercy, thus aligning their hearts with the gospel truth that salvation is entirely by grace through faith, as opposed to human effort or merit.
