Why should Christians not boast about their salvation?

Answered in 1 source

Christians should not boast because salvation is a gift of grace from God, not a result of personal merit.

According to Romans 11:18-20, Paul cautions the Gentile believers against boasting about their salvation or status in comparison to the Jews. He stresses that it is the root that supports them, not their own efforts. This illustrates the importance of humility and recognition of God's grace, as all believers are sustained by His mercy, not their accomplishments. Any sense of superiority undermines the core truth of grace.
