Humility as the Secret of Redemption
Murray delves into the theological significance of humility in the context of redemption. He explains that pride was the root cause of humanity's fall, and therefore, humility is essential for our redemption. 'It is pride that made redemption needful; it is from our pride we need, above everything, to be redeemed,' he writes. By embracing humility, we participate in the redemptive work of Christ, who 'humbled himself and became obedient unto death' (Phil. 2:8). This humility is not just a moral virtue but a spiritual necessity for experiencing God's saving grace.
