Why is it important for Christians to recognize their need for Christ?
Answered in 1 source
Recognizing our need for Christ is essential because it leads to true repentance and faith in His sufficiency.
Understanding our need for Christ is crucial in the sovereign grace framework because it recognizes our inherent spiritual blindness and deadness apart from Him. As illustrated by the Queen of Sheba, when sinners come to Christ, they often arrive at a place of humility, realizing that they have nothing to offer Him that could be of value. This acknowledgment paves the way for a genuine encounter with the Savior, who delights in those with broken and contrite hearts (Psalm 51:17). A true realization of our need for Christ leads to the joyful acceptance of His grace and sufficiency—the very heart of the gospel message.
