Why is recognizing ourselves as unworthy servants important?

Answered in 1 source

Recognizing ourselves as unworthy servants fosters humility and a reliance on God's grace (Luke 17:10).

In Luke 17:10, Jesus instructs His followers to consider themselves unworthy servants after fulfilling their duties, highlighting the significance of humility in the Christian life. This mindset combats the natural inclination toward self-righteousness, reminding believers that any good they possess or perform is a result of God’s sovereign grace. Acknowledging our unworthiness helps to direct glory away from ourselves and towards Christ, fostering a deep dependence on His righteousness and strengthening our faith in God's mercy and goodness.
