Why is it necessary for Christians to be humble?

Answered in 1 source

Humility is necessary for Christians to live out their faith authentically and to foster healthy relationships within the church.

The essence of Christian faith is steeped in humility, as seen in the teachings of Jesus and the apostolic letters. Humility allows believers to recognize their dependence on God and acknowledge their rightful place before Him, thus preventing pride and self-righteousness. Furthermore, when humility is practiced within the church, it helps to mitigate conflicts, backbiting, and the desire for power and recognition. The result is a unified body of believers who serve one another in love, mirroring the relationships within the Trinity. In the absence of humility, sound doctrine becomes useless, demonstrating that true understanding of Christian teaching must always produce a humble heart.
