Why must Christ increase and I decrease?

Answered in 1 source

Christ must increase and I must decrease to reflect His glory and work in our lives (John 3:30).

In John 3:30, John the Baptist states, 'He must increase, but I must decrease.' This profound principle underscores the believer's goal of glorifying Christ rather than oneself. As Christians grow in faith and understanding, they become more aware of their own inadequacies and the sufficiency of Christ's grace. This decrease of self allows for greater reflection of Christ's luminosity, purpose, and power within their lives. It is a continuous journey of humility and submission to His lordship.
